Question 105

MediumOriginal question

For the ellipse 9x2+4y2=369x^{2} + 4y^{2} = 36, which of the following statements are true?

I. Its area is 36π36\pi.

II. Its area is 4∫02324−x2 dx4\int_0^{2} \frac{3}{2}\sqrt{4 - x^{2}}\,dx.

III. Its area is 4∫03239−y2 dy4\int_0^{3} \frac{2}{3}\sqrt{9 - y^{2}}\,dy.

IV. Its part in the first quadrant has area 3π2\frac{3\pi}{2}.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Standard form: x24+y29=1\frac{x^{2}}{4} + \frac{y^{2}}{9} = 1, so a=2a = 2, b=3b = 3 and the area is 6π6\pi, not 36π36\pi. I is false, and IV, a quarter of 6π6\pi, is true.

  2. II solves for y=324−x2y = \frac{3}{2}\sqrt{4 - x^{2}} and III for x=239−y2x = \frac{2}{3}\sqrt{9 - y^{2}}; each gives 6π6\pi, so both are true.

Worth noting

Taking I as true reads the 36 on the right side as the product of the semi-axes; in standard form they are 2 and 3.
