Area of Bounded Regions · Question 80 of 115

Question 80

MediumOriginal question

For the region bounded by the parabola x2=8yx^{2} = 8y and the line y=2y = 2, which of the following statements are true?

I. The line meets the parabola at (−4,2)(-4, 2) and (4,2)(4, 2).

II. Its area is 2∫04(2−x28)dx2\int_0^{4} \left(2 - \frac{x^{2}}{8}\right)dx.

III. Its area is 323\frac{32}{3} square units.

IV. Its area is ∫028y dy\int_0^{2} \sqrt{8y}\,dy.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. I: x2=16x^{2} = 16, so x=±4x = \pm 4. II and III: the line lies above the parabola and the region is symmetric about the yy-axis, so the area is 2∫04(2−x28)dx=2(8−83)=3232\int_0^{4} \left(2 - \frac{x^{2}}{8}\right)dx = 2\left(8 - \frac{8}{3}\right) = \frac{32}{3}.

  2. IV: a horizontal strip runs from −8y-\sqrt{8y} to 8y\sqrt{8y}, so its length is 28y2\sqrt{8y}; ∫028y dy=163\int_0^{2} \sqrt{8y}\,dy = \frac{16}{3} is only half the area. False.

Worth noting

Taking IV as true counts only the right half of each horizontal strip.
