Area bounded by the curve y2(2a-x) =x3 and the line x =2a is

a. 3a2

b.3a2/2

c. 3a2/4

d. none of these


Curve y2(2a-x) = xis symmetrical about the x-axis and passes through the origin.
So the area would be
Hence the limit is 0<x<2aSo Area = 202ax3/2(2a-x)dxLet x = 2asin2θ , so dx = 4asinθcosθOr 0π/28a2sin4θdθLet (sin2θ)2 = sin4θSo (1-cos2θ2)2, so expand it, and integrate, you will getsin4θdθ = (3/8)θ- (1/4)sin(2θ) + (1/32)sin(4θ)So 0π/28a2sin4θdθ = 3πa2
