The area of the region $\left\{(x, y): y \geq x^2\right.$ and $\left.y \leq|x|\right\}$ is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
region → $y \geq x^2$
and $y \leq x$
so plotting regions on cartesion plane
so intersecting point of
$y=x^2$
and $y=|x|$
$\Rightarrow x^2=|x|$
So x = -1, 0, 1
y= 1, 0, 1
Corresponding as for parabola in first quadrant $y = x^2 ⇒ x = \sqrt{2}$
for line
$y = x ⇒ x = y$
→ area of region × 2 = Total area
area of 1 region = $\int\limits_0^1 \sqrt{y}-y d y$
So total area = $2\int\limits_0^1 \sqrt{y}-y d y$
$=2\left[\frac{y^{\frac{1}{2}+1}}{\frac{1}{2}+1}-\frac{y^{1+1}}{1+1}\right]_0^1$
$=2\left[\frac{2}{3} y^{3 / 2}-\frac{y^2}{2}\right]_0^1= 2\left[\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}\right] =\frac{4}{3}-1=\frac{4-3}{3}$
$=\frac{1}{3}$
