Visualized Solution
Visualizing the Curves
Given curves: y=x2, y=∣2−x2∣, and y=2.
Constraint: The region must be to the right of x=1.
Identify the boundaries on the graph: Blue (y=x2), Green (y=∣2−x2∣), and Red (y=2).
Handling the Modulus Function
The modulus function y=∣2−x2∣ changes behavior at x2=2, i.e., x=2.
For 1<x<2: 2−x2>0⟹y=2−x2.
For x>2: 2−x2<0⟹y=x2−2.
Finding Intersection Points
Intersection of y=x2 and y=2: x2=2⟹x=2 (since x>1).
Intersection of y=x2−2 and y=2: x2−2=2⟹x2=4⟹x=2.
Intersection of y=x2 and y=2−x2: 2x2=2⟹x=1.
Identifying the Region
The region is split into two intervals: [1,2] and [2,2].
Interval 1: Upper curve is y=x2, Lower curve is y=2−x2.
Interval 2: Upper curve is y=2, Lower curve is y=x2−2.
Setting up the Integral
Area = ∫12(Upper−Lower)dx+∫22(Upper−Lower)dx
Area = ∫12(x2−(2−x2))dx+∫22(2−(x2−2))dx
Simplifying Integrands
Simplify the integrands before integrating.
First integral: x2−(2−x2)=2x2−2
Second integral: 2−(x2−2)=4−x2
Area = ∫12(2x2−2)dx+∫22(4−x2)dx
Integrating the First Part
I1=∫12(2x2−2)dx=[32x3−2x]12
Substitute limits: (32(2)3−22)−(32(1)3−2(1))
Simplify: (342−22)−(32−2)=−322+34
Integrating the Second Part
I2=∫22(4−x2)dx=[4x−3x3]22
Substitute limits: (4(2)−323)−(42−3(2)3)
Simplify: (8−38)−(42−322)=316−3102
Final Calculation
Total Area = I1+I2
Area = (34−322)+(316−3102)
Area = 320−3122=320−42
Final Result: (320−42) sq. units.

Analyzing the Setup
To find the area trapped by the curves y=x2, y=∣2−x2∣, and y=2 for x>1, we must first understand the behavior of the modulus function y=∣2−x2∣.
The function y=∣2−x2∣ is defined piecewise:
For x2<2 (i.e., 1<x<2), y=2−x2.
For x2>2 (i.e., x>2), y=x2−2.
The critical transition point occurs at x=2.
Defining the Regions
We are restricted to the region where x>1. By analyzing the intersections, we identify two distinct intervals for integration:
1. Region 1 (1<x<2): The parabola y=x2 acts as the upper boundary, and the modulus curve y=2−x2 acts as the lower boundary.
2. Region 2 (2<x<2): The horizontal line y=2 acts as the upper boundary, and the modulus curve y=x2−2 acts as the lower boundary.
The Master Equation
The total area A is the sum of the integrals over these two regions:
