Question

Find the common area enclosed by the parabolas y2=x and x2=y

Open in App
Solution

Area required=Area OABC
To find point of intersection B:
Solving y2=x ....(1)
and x2=y ....(2)
Put (2) in (1)
y2=x
(x2)2=x
x4x=0
x(x31)=0
x=0,x=1
For x=0,y=x2=0.So, coordinates are (0,0)
For x=1,y=12=1.So, coordinates are (1,1)
Since point B lies in first quadrant.
So, coordiantes of B is (1,1)
Let us find the area of OABC
AreaOABC=AreaOABDAreaOCBD
10y1dx10y2dx
y2=xy=±x
Since OABD is in first quadrant y1=x
and x2=yy2=x2
Area Required=10y1dx10y2dx
=10xdx10x2dx
=x12+112+110[x2+12+1]10
=x323210[x33]10
=23[10]13[10]
=13
Hence, Area requires=13 sq.units.
