The area (in sq. units) of the region bounded by the curves x2+2y-1=0, y2+4x-4=0 and y2-4x-4=0 in the upper half plane is _________.

Solution

The given curves are x2+2y-1=0, y2+4x-4=0 and y2-4x-4=0.

Drawing their graphs, we get 

The required area is shown by the shaded part and since the curves y2+4x-4=0 and y2-4x-4=0 are symmetric about the y-axis, hence they have the same area.

Hence, the required area=2024-y24dy-011-x22dx

=202144-y2dy-01121-x2dx

=2144y-y3302-12x-x3301

=2148-83-0-121-13-0

=243-13=2sq.units .
