Explanation
Solution
Step 1: Identify the boundaries of the region.
The region is bounded by:
Step 2: Find the points of intersection.
-
Intersection of y=1 and y=x2:
x2=1⟹x=1 (considering the first quadrant where the curves meet).
-
Intersection of y=x2 and y=x8:
x2=x8⟹x3=8⟹x=2.
-
Intersection of y=1 and y=x8:
1=x8⟹x=8.
Step 3: Set up the integral for the area.
The area can be split into two parts along the x-axis:
-
From x=1 to x=2, the upper curve is y=x2 and the lower curve is y=1.
-
From x=2 to x=8, the upper curve is y=x8 and the lower curve is y=1.
Step 4: Calculate the integrals.
Area=∫12(x2−1)dx+∫28(x8−1)dx
-
First Part:
[3x3−x]12=(38−2)−(31−1)=32−(−32)=34
-
Second Part:
[8logex−x]28=(8loge8−8)−(8loge2−2)
Using loge8=3loge2:
(24loge2−8)−(8loge2−2)=16loge2−6
Step 5: Total Area.
Total Area=34+16loge2−6=16loge2−314
Correct Option: (2)
