The area lying between the curves y2 = 4x and y = 2x is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
y2 = 4x , y = 2x
point of intersection
y = 2x y2 = 4x
⇒ (2x)2 = 4x
⇒ x2 = x
⇒ x = 1, 0
area = area under y2 = 4x - area under y = 2x
so area = $\int\limits_0^1-2 x+2 \sqrt{x} d x$
$=\left[-x^2+\frac{4}{3} x^{3 / 2}\right]_0^1=\frac{4}{3}-1$
$= \frac{1}{3}$ sq. units
