Let (a, b) be the point of intersection of the curve and the straight line y – 2x – 6 = 0 in the second quadrant. Then the integral is equal to : [2025]
(3)
We have, and y – 2x – 6 = 0
Substitute y = 2x + 6 in , we get
Intersection points are (6, 18) and (–2, 2)
Since, (a, b) is a point in second quadrant
(a, b) = (–2, 2)
Now, ... (i)
... (ii)
On adding (i) and (ii), we get
.
