The area (in sq. units) of the region enclosed between the parabola y2 = 2x and the line x + y = 4 is _______.
Correct Answer: 18
Solution and Explanation
The correct answer is 18
Required Area :
\(= \int_{-4}^{2} \left(4 - y - \frac{y^2}{2}\right) \,dy\)
\(=\left[4y - \frac{y^2}{2} - \frac{y^3}{6}\right]_{2}^{4}\)
= 18 square units.

Area between Two Curves
Integral calculus is the method that can be used to calculate the area between two curves that fall in between two intersecting curves. Similarly, we can use integration to find the area under two curves where we know the equation of two curves and their intersection points. In the given image, we have two functions f(x) and g(x) where we need to find the area between these two curves given in the shaded portion.
