Evaluate
as limit of sums.
OR
Using integration find the area of the following region:
{(x, y): |x – 1| ≤ y ≤ √(5 – x2)}
Know that, limit of sums is the sum of limits of the function.
We have, ![]()
Let f(x) = x2– x …(i)
Here,
a = 1
b = 4
nh = b – a = 4 – 1 = 3 …(*)
We know limit of sums is given as,

Put a = 1 as deduced above.

Put x = 1 in (i),
f(1) = 1 – 1
Put x = 1 + h in (i),
f(1 + h) = (1 + h)2 – (1 + h)
Repeat the same for other values of x. We get,









∵, nh = 3






OR
We have two equations:
One of them is the equation of curve, say y1.
y = √(5 – x2)
Squaring on both sides,
y2 = (√(5 – x2))2
⇒ y2 = 5 – x2
⇒ x2 + y2 = 5
It is a circle.
The other equation is of a line,
y = |x – 1|
Take y = x – 1 and y = 1 – x …(ii)
Let us find intersection point of these two figures by substituting y = x – 1 in y = √(5 – x2). We get,
x – 1 = √(5 – x2)
Squaring both sides,
(x – 1)2 = [√(5 – x2)]2
⇒ x2 + 1 – 2x = 5 – x2
⇒ x2 + x2 – 2x + 1 – 5 = 0
⇒ 2x2 – 2x – 4 = 0
⇒ x2 – x – 2 = 0
⇒ x2 – 2x + x – 2 = 0
⇒ x(x – 2) + (x – 2) = 0
⇒ (x + 1)(x – 2) = 0
⇒ (x + 1) = 0 or (x – 2) = 0
⇒ x = -1 or x = 2
Put x = -1 in y = x – 1,
y = -1 – 1
⇒ y = -2
Point of intersection of circle x2 + y2 = 5 and line y = x – 1 is (-1, -2).
Put x = 2 in y = x – 1,
y = 2 – 1
⇒ y = 1
Point of intersection between x2 + y2 = 5 and line y = 1 – x is (2, 1).

So, the area of the region is given by
