If the area bounded by the curve $y^2=16x$ and the line $y = mx$ is $\frac{2}{3}$ sq.units, then value of m is :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 4
Given equations are,
$y^2=16x$ ...(1)
$y = mx$ ...(2)
for $x≠0$,
$(mx)^2=16x$
$⇒m^2x=16⇒x=\frac{16}{m^2}$
and,
$y=m×\frac{16}{m^2}=\frac{16}{m}$
Thus the non-zero intersection point is $\left(\frac{16}{m^2},\frac{16}{m}\right)$
$∴A=\int\limits_0^{16/m^2}(4\sqrt{x}-mx)dx$
$=\left[\frac{8}{3}x^{3/2}-m\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^{16/m^2}$
$=\frac{512}{3m^3}-\frac{128}{m^3}=\frac{128}{3m^3}$
$⇒\frac{128}{3m^3}=\frac{2}{3}$
$⇒m^3=\frac{128}{2}=64$
$⇒m=4$
