Question : 25
Total: 29
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 y1 = 2x + 1, y2 = 3x + 1
Now area of the triangle bounded by the given lines,
