Q.

Let the area of the region bounded by the curve y=max{sinx, cosx}, lines x=0, x=3π2, and the x-axis be A. Then A+A2 is equal to ________ .        [2026]


Ans.

(12)

A=∫0π/4cosx dx+∫π/4πsinx dx+∫π5π/4-sinx dx+∫5π/43π/2-cosx dx

A=(sinx)0π/4+(cosx)π/4π+(cosx)π5π/4+(sinx)5π/43π/2

A=12+12+1+1-12+1-12=3

A2+A=12
