The parabola y2 = 4x divides the area of the circle x2 + y2 = 5 in two parts. The area of the smaller part is equal to :
- 23 + 5 -1 ( 2 5 )
- 23 + 5 -1 ( 2 5 )
- 13 + 5 -1 ( 2 5 )
- 13 + 5 -1 ( 2 5 )
Answer
(1) 23 + 5 -1 ( 2 5 )
Solution
Putting y2 = 4x in the circle: x2 + 4x - 5 = 0 x = 1, so the curves meet at A(1, 2) and B(1, −2); C is ( 5, 0).

The smaller part is the shaded region (inside the parabola), symmetric about the x-axis:
Area = 2 [ 01 2 x dx + 1 5 5 - x2 dx ]
= 2 [ 43 + ( 5 4 - 1 - 52 -1 1 5 ) ]
= 23 + 5 ( 2 - -1 1 5 ) = 23 + 5 -1 1 5
Since -1 1 5 = -1 2 5, area = 23 + 5 -1 ( 2 5 ) ( 6.2, less than half of 5 )
