Area Between a Parabola and a Line Through the Origin

by Notetube Official104 words8 views

For y2y^2 = 4ax and the line y = mx (m > 0), intersection points are at (0, 0) and (4a/m2m^2, 4a/m). Using horizontal strips from y = 0 to y = 4a/m: the parabola gives x = y^24a\frac{2}{4a} and the line gives x = ym\frac{y}{m}. Since y/m > y^24a\frac{2}{4a} on (0, 4a/m), the area = integral from 0 to 4a/m of [y/m - y^24a\frac{2}{4a}] dy = [y^22m\frac{2}{2m} - y^312a\frac{3}{12a}] from 0 to 4a/m = 16a^22m3\frac{2}{2m^3} - 64a^312am3\frac{3}{12a*m^3} = 8a2a^2/m3m^3 - 16a^23m3\frac{2}{3m^3} = 8a^23m3\frac{2}{3m^3}. This standard result 8a^23m3\frac{2}{3m^3} appears frequently in JEE. For m = 1 and a = 1, the area is 8/3.
