This is a challenging question. Please help me think about it. Consider the two regions bounded by the circle x^2 +y^2 = 8 and the parabola y^2 = 2*x. Find their areas. attached question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, find the areas of each induvidually correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we need to find where these two function cross

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A unclear question. two parts of bounded areas I guess. another symmetry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea, this has symmetry. We'll just find the area in quadrant 1 then double it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find our limits of integration we set the two equations equal to one another. They will cross at those x values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree. the intersection is x = 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y=\sqrt{8-x^2} and y=\sqrt{2x}\] so, \[\sqrt{8-x ^{2}}=\sqrt{2x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh you got it already

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now due to the nature of integration, it will be easier to integrate the parabaloid function with respect to x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is the attached the correct approach?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you will only have a single integration to do. Just integrate the parabaloid function

OpenStudy (anonymous):

with those limits. 0...2
