The area of the region \(x, y) : y -|x|, y |x x|, y 0\ is:
- 1+ 28
- 2+ 24
- 28-1
- 4+ 22
Answer
(2) 2+ 24
Solution
Both curves are symmetric about the y-axis, and -|x| 0 only for |x| . So area =2 (area for 0 x ).
For 0 x : |x x|=x x; the curves meet where x x= -x, i.e. at x= 2 (and at x= ).
On [0, 2 ]: x x x -x, so the upper boundary is y=x x.
On [ 2, ]: the upper boundary is y= -x.

Area =2 [ 0 /2 x x dx+ /2 ( -x) dx ]
0 /2 x x dx= [-x x+ x ]0 /2=1
/2 ( -x) dx= 12 2 2= 28
Area =2 (1+ 28 )=2+ 24
