Question:

Find the area common to the parabola x = -2y2 and x = 1 - 3y2.

Options:

8/3

16/3

4/3

20/3

Correct Answer:

4/3

Explanation:

Required Area = 2 × shaded area = $2\int\limits_0^A[(1-3y^2)-(-2y^2)]dy$

Solve x = -2y2 & x = 1 - 3y2 ⇒ A ≡ (-2, 1)

⇒ Required Area = $2\int\limits_0^1(1-y^2)dy=4/3$
