Q.

The area (in square units) of the region bounded by the parabola y2=4(x-2) and the line y=2x-8, is                               [2024]

1 9  
2 7  
3 8  
4 6  

Ans.

(1)

Parabola : y2=4(x-2)                    ...(i)

and line : y=2x-8                           ...(ii)

4(x-4)2=4(x-2)                       

x2-9x+18=0

x=3,6

From (ii), we get

y=-2,4

Points of intersection of (i) and (ii) are (3,-2) and (6,4)

∴ Required Area=-24[(y+82)-(y24+2)]dy

=[y24-y312+2y]-24

=9 sq. units
