The area of the region bounded by the parabola (y-2)2=(x-1), the tangent to it at the point whose ordinate is 3 and the x-axis, is:
  1. 4
  2. 6
  3. 9
  4. 10

Solution

Given, the parabola y-22=x-1 and y=3x=2

So, point is (2,3) Differentiate given equation w.r.t. x, we get

2(y-2)y'=1

y=12(y2)

y(2,3)=12

So, the equation of tangent at 2,3

y-3=12x-2

x-2y+4=0

Required area  =03[(y-2)2+1]dy-03(2y-4)dy
Required area =03y2-4y+5dy+032y-4dy
Required area =y33-2y2+5y03-y2-4y03 

Required area=9 sq units
