If the area bounded by the curve 2y2=3x, lines x+y=3,y=0 and outside the circle (x−3)2+y2=2 is A, then 4(π+4A) is equal to ____
Answer: 42
Solution
The parabola 2y2=3x meets x+y=3 where 2y2=3(3−y), i.e. 2y2+3y−9=0, giving y=23 and x=23. The area between the line and the parabola above the x-axis is ∫03/2[(3−y)−32y2]dy=[3y−2y2−92y3]03/2=29−89−43=821. The circle (x−3)2+y2=2 has centre (3,0) and radius 2; at that corner the region lies between the x-axis and the line of slope −1, so the part removed is a sector of angle 4π with area 21(2)2⋅4π=4π. Hence A=821−4π and 4(π+4A)=4π+16(821−4π)=42.
