Concept: The equation $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ represents an ellipse centered at the origin. The region above the $X$-axis corresponds to the upper half of the ellipse where $y \ge 0$, bounded by $x = -a$ and $x = a$. The area $A$ of this region is given by:
$A = \int_{-a}^{a} y \, dx = \int_{-a}^{a} b \sqrt{1 - \frac{x^2}{a^2}} \, dx$
Alternatively, since the total area of an ellipse is $\pi a b$, the area above the $X$-axis is half of the total area, which is $\frac{1}{2} \pi a b$.
For the curve $\frac{x^2}{4} + \frac{y^2}{9} = 1$, evaluate the area of the region under the curve and above the $X$-axis.
$A = \int_{-a}^{a} y \, dx = \int_{-a}^{a} b \sqrt{1 - \frac{x^2}{a^2}} \, dx$
Alternatively, since the total area of an ellipse is $\pi a b$, the area above the $X$-axis is half of the total area, which is $\frac{1}{2} \pi a b$.
A.
$\pi$ sq units
B.
$2\pi$ sq units
C.
$3\pi$ sq units
D.

First, find the points of intersection of the line and the circle in the first quadrant.
Substituting $y = x$ into $x^2 + y^2 = 32$:
$x^2 + x^2 = 32 \implies 2x^2 = 32 \implies x^2 = 16 \implies x = \pm 4$
Since we are considering the first quadrant, $x = 4$ and $y = 4$. So the line and circle intersect at $(4, 4)$.
The circle meets the X-axis at $x = \sqrt{32} = 4\sqrt{2}$.
The required area $A$ of region $OABO$ is divided into two parts:
$A = \text{Area of } ODBO + \text{Area of } DAB D$
$A = \int_0^4 y_{\text{line}} dx + \int_4^{4\sqrt{2}} y_{\text{circle}} dx$
$A = \int_0^4 x dx + \int_4^{4\sqrt{2}} \sqrt{32 - x^2} dx$
Evaluating the first integral:
$\int_0^4 x dx = \left\vert{} \frac{x^2}{2} \right\vert{}_0^4 = \frac{16}{2} - 0 = 8$
Evaluating the second integral using $\int \sqrt{a^2 - x^2} dx = \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{a^2 - x^2} + \frac{a^2}{2} \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{a}\right)$:
$\int_4^{4\sqrt{2}} \sqrt{(4\sqrt{2})^2 - x^2} dx = \left\vert{} \frac{x}{2} \sqrt{32 - x^2} + 16 \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{x}{4\sqrt{2}}\right) \right\vert{}_4^{4\sqrt{2}}$
Substitute upper limit $x = 4\sqrt{2}$:
$= \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{2} \sqrt{32 - 32} + 16 \sin^{-1}(1) = 0 + 16 \left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 8\pi$
Substitute lower limit $x = 4$:
$= \frac{4}{2} \sqrt{32 - 16} + 16 \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{4}{4\sqrt{2}}\right) = 2(4) + 16 \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = 8 + 16\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 8 + 4\pi$
So the second integral value is:
$8\pi - (8 + 4\pi) = 4\pi - 8$
Combining both parts:
$A = 8 + (4\pi - 8) = 4\pi \text{ sq units}$
The line is $x = 4$.
The bounded region $OACBO$ is symmetrical about the X-axis. Thus, the total area $A$ is:
$A = 2 \times (\text{Area of region } OACO)$
$A = 2 \int_0^4 y_{\text{parabola}} dx$
$A = 2 \int_0^4 2\sqrt{x} dx$
$A = 4 \int_0^4 x^{1/2} dx$
Integrating using the power rule $\int x^n dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}$:
$A = 4 \left\vert{} \frac{x^{3/2}}{3/2} \right\vert{}_0^4$
$A = 4 \cdot \frac{2}{3} \left\vert{} x^{3/2} \right\vert{}_0^4$
$A = \frac{8}{3} \left( 4^{3/2} - 0 \right)$
Since $4^{3/2} = (2^2)^{3/2} = 2^3 = 8$:
$A = \frac{8}{3} \times 8 = \frac{64}{3} \text{ sq units}$
First, find the point where $y = 3x + 2$ intersects the X-axis ($y = 0$):
$3x + 2 = 0 \implies x = -\frac{2}{3}$
For $x \in \left[-1, -\frac{2}{3}\right]$, $y$ is negative, so $y \le 0$.
For $x \in \left[-\frac{2}{3}, 1\right]$, $y$ is positive, so $y \ge 0$.
Therefore, the total area $A$ is divided into two regions $EFDE$ and $ABDA$:
$A = \int_{-1}^{-2/3} (-y) dx + \int_{-2/3}^1 y dx$
$A = -\int_{-1}^{-2/3} (3x + 2) dx + \int_{-2/3}^1 (3x + 2) dx$
Evaluating the antiderivative $\int (3x + 2) dx = \frac{3x^2}{2} + 2x$:
For the first integral from $-1$ to $-\frac{2}{3}$:
$\left\vert{} \frac{3x^2}{2} + 2x \right\vert{}_{-1}^{-2/3} = \left( \frac{3\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right)^2}{2} + 2\left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) \right) - \left( \frac{3(-1)^2}{2} + 2(-1) \right)$
$= \left( \frac{3 \cdot \frac{4}{9}}{2} - \frac{4}{3} \right) - \left( \frac{3}{2} - 2 \right)$
$= \left( \frac{2}{3} - \frac{4}{3} \right) - \left( -\frac{1}{2} \right) = -\frac{2}{3} + \frac{1}{2} = -\frac{1}{6}$
Since this region lies below the X-axis, the magnitude of area is:
$\text{Area}_1 = -\left(-\frac{1}{6}\right) = \frac{1}{6}$
For the second integral from $-\frac{2}{3}$ to $1$:
$\left\vert{} \frac{3x^2}{2} + 2x \right\vert{}_{-2/3}^1 = \left( \frac{3(1)^2}{2} + 2(1) \right) - \left( -\frac{2}{3} \right)$
$= \left( \frac{3}{2} + 2 \right) - \left( -\frac{2}{3} \right) = \frac{7}{2} + \frac{2}{3} = \frac{25}{6}$
Combining both areas:
$A = \frac{1}{6} + \frac{25}{6} = \frac{26}{6} = \frac{13}{3} \text{ sq units}$
