Question
What is the area of the region bounded by the curve y = 32−x2 and x-axis in the first quadrant?
A.
32π sq units
B.
4π sq units
C.
8π sq units
D.
42 π sq units
Correct option is C
Use trigonometric substitution:Let x=42sinθ=>dx=42cosθdθWhen x=0,θ=0,and when x=32=42,θ=2πNow substitute into the integral:∫03232−x2dx=∫0π/232−(42sinθ)2⋅42cosθdθ=∫0π/232(1−sin2θ)⋅42cosθdθ=∫0π/232cos2θ⋅42cosθdθ=∫0π/232cosθ⋅42cosθdθ=42⋅32∫0π/2cos2θdθ=32∫0π/2cos2θdθUse the identity cos2θ=21+cos(2θ):32∫0π/221+cos(2θ)dθ=16∫0π/2(1+cos(2θ))dθ=16[θ+2sin(2θ)]0π/2=16[2π+0−(0+0)]=16⋅2π=8π
