Topic: Area Under the Curve:
Intially we need to draw the graph of the given curved inorder to integrate and find the values
1.) xy = 8 (this is the graph of a rectangular hyperbola)
2.) then we are provided with y = x² (an upward facing parabola touching the x axis at the origin)
3.) we are also given y = 1 i.e a straight line cutting y axis at 1
the required curve by plotting these graphs is shown in the attachment.
NOTE: IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO MARK THE INTERSECTING POINTS OF THE GRAPH
you can find the intersecting points between the parabola and the rectangular hyperbola by equating the curves as:
- 8/x = x²
- x = 2
intersecting point between the straight line and hyperbola:
- 1 = 8/x
- x = 8
intersecting point between parabola and stright line
- x² = 1
- x = 1
Now, we have to integrate the curve w.r.t y since the initial and final points of all the graphs is same along y axis
Solution is provided in the attachment 2 :)
xy ≤8
1 ≤ y ≤ x²
x².x = 8
x = 2
