Exercise 8.1 Question 1. Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y² = x and the lines x = 1, x = 4, and the x-axis. Solution: The curve y² = x is a parabola with vertex at origin.Axis of x is the line of symmetry, which is the axis of parabola. The area of the region bounded by the curve, x = 1, x=4 and the x-axis. Area LMQP Question 2. Find the area of the region bounded by y² = 9x, x = 2, x = 4 and x-axis in the first quadrant Solution: The given curve is y² = 9x, which is a parabola with vertex at (0, 0) and axis along x-axis. It is symmetrical about x-axis, as it contains only even powers of y. x = 2 and x = 4 are straight lines parallel toy-axis at a positive distance of 2 and 4 units from it respectively. ∴ Required area = Area ABCD Question 3. Find the area of the region bounded by x² = 4y, y = 2, y = 4 and the y-axis in the first quadrant. Solution: The given curve x² = 4y is a parabola with vertex at (0,0). Also since it contains only even powers of x,it is symme...
