how to find the common region bounded by two curves ?
Is there anything we need to keep in mind while taking out the common region under the given curves ?

Dear Student,

As such there is nothing to remember as it is a step by step process and here in this example you will understand,

find the area of the smaller region bounded by the curves x^2+y^2 = 4 and y^2 = 3(2x-1)
Solution-


Intersection point can be found by putting y2 = 6x-3 in circle equation.
So 6x-3 + x2  - 4 = 0
Or x2 + 6x -7 = 0
So (x +7)(x -1) = 0
Or x = -7 and x =1
For smaller region x = 1.
Hence
