The area bounded by the curve, the x-axis, and x∈[0,1] is:
A=∫0131−x2dx
Let x=sinθ⟹dx=cosθdθ
When x=0, θ=0
When x=1, θ=2π
A=3∫0π/21−sin2θcosθdθ
Since 1−sin2θ=cos2θ:
A=3∫0π/2cos2θdθ
Using cos2θ=21+cos2θ:
A=23∫0π/2(1+cos2θ)dθ
=23[θ+2sin2θ]0π/2
=23[(2π+2sinπ)−(0+0)]
=23×2π
=43π
The curve y=31−x2 represents the upper half of the ellipse 1x2+9y2=1 with a=1, b=3.
Full ellipse area =πab=3π
First quadrant portion =41×3π=43π sq. units
