Using integration find the area of the triangle formed by positive x-axis and tangent and normal to the circle x2 + y2 = 4 at (1, √3).
OR
Evaluate
as a limit of a sum.
Given that, equation of the circle is x2 + y2 = 4.
The equation of the normal to the circle at (1, √3) is the equation of the line joining the points (1, √3) and (0,0).
![]()
⇒ y = √3 x (i)
∴ equation of normal is y = √3 x.
Now, the equation of the tangent to the circle at (1, √3) is
![]()
⇒ √3 y – 3 = -x +1
(ii)
Putting y=0 , we get x=4
Hence, Δ AOB is formed by the positive x-axis and tangent and normal.

Now, Area of Δ AOB = Area of Δ AOC + Area of Δ ACB

= 2√3 sq. units
Hence, area of the triangle formed is 2√3 sq. units
OR
We have, ![]()
Where ![]()
Here, a =1 ,b=3 and f(x) = e2-3x+x2+1
∴
⇒ hn=2
Now,
