Question : 25 of 29
Marks: +1, -0
Using integration find the area of the triangular region whose sides have equations
y = 2x + 1, y = 3x + 1 and x = 4.
Solution:  
Hence, of all the rectangles inscribed in the given circle, the square has the maximum area.
Equations of the lines are y = 2x + 1, y = 3x + 1 and x + 4
Let y1y_1 = 2x + 1, y2y_2 = 3x + 1
Now area of the triangle bounded by the given lines,
=  40(y2−y1)\,{}^{{\underset{0}{4}}}(y_2-y_1) dx
=  40[(3x+1)−(2x+1)]\,{}^{\underset{0}{4}}[(3x + 1) - (2x + 1)] dx
=  40x\,{}^{{\underset{0}{4}}}x dx
= 12[x2]04\frac{1}{2}[x^2]^4_0
= 12(42−02)\frac{1}{2}(4^2-0^2)
= 12\frac{1}{2} × 16
= 8 sq. units
Thus, the area of the required triangular region is 8 square units.
