Solution
Given, the area of the region under this curve, above the x-axis and between the abscissae 3 and x(>3) be (xy)3
So, ∫3xydx=(xy)3
⇒x3∫3xydx=y3
Now differentiating both side w.r.t x, we get
⇒x3y+3x2x3y3=3y2dxdyas given ∫3xydx=(xy)3
⇒x4+3y2=3yxdxdy
⇒3xydxdy=3y2+x4
Now put y2=t,ydxdy=21dxdt
⇒dxdt−x2t=32x3
Now IF=e∫−x2dx=x21
So, solution is given by
t×IF=∫32x3×IF
⇒x2t=3x2+C
Now given curve passes through (3,3) so C=−2
⇒x2y2=3x2−2
So the equation of curve is 3y2=x4−6x2
Now curve also passes through (α,610)
So, α4−6α2=1080
⇒α=6
