Q.

Let α be the area of the larger region bounded by the curve y2=8x and the lines y=x and x=2, which lies in the first quadrant. Then the value of 3α is equal to _____ .    [2023]


Ans.

(22)

We have y2=8x, y=x, x=2

The shaded region has the largest area. So, 

Area=28(22x-x)dx

α=2228x1/2dx-28xdx

=22×23[x3/2]28-[x22]28

=423[162-22]-12[64-4]=1123-30=223

Now 3α=22
