The area of the region in the first quadrant inside the circle x2+y2=8 and outside the parabola y2=2x is equal to :
(A)2π−31
(B)π−32✓ Correct
(C)2π−32
(D)π−31
Answer: (B)
Solution
Circle x2+y2=8 meets parabola y2=2x where x2+2x−8=0⟹(x+4)(x−2)=0⟹x=2,y=2 (first quadrant). For 0≤x≤2 the parabola lies below the circle (2x≤8−x2), so the strip "inside circle, outside parabola" there is 8−x2−2x. For 2≤x≤22 the parabola lies *above* the circle, so every point under the circle in that range already satisfies y2<2x (inside the parabola) — it contributes nothing to the outside-parabola area. So the required area is just
