Decode the Inequalities
Given region: {(x,y):0≤9x≤y2,y≥3x−6}
Condition 1: x≥0 (Right of y-axis)
Condition 2: y2≥9x (Outside the parabola)
Condition 3: y≥3x−6 (Above the straight line)
Intersection of Boundaries
Equate the parabola y2=9x and the line y=3x−6.
Substitute y: (3x−6)2=9x
Expand: 9x2−36x+36=9x
Solve for x-coordinates
Rearrange: 9x2−45x+36=0
Divide by 9: x2−5x+4=0
Factorize: (x−1)(x−4)=0
Roots: x=1 and x=4
Find y-coordinates
For x=1: y=3(1)−6=−3⟹(1,−3)
For x=4: y=3(4)−6=6⟹(4,6)
These are the two points where the line cuts the parabola.
Identify the Bounded Region
We need the region where x≥0, y2≥9x, and y≥3x−6.
The bounded portion lies in the 4th quadrant.
Vertices of this region: (0,0), (0,−6), and (1,−3).
Set Up the Area Integral
Integrate along the x-axis from x=0 to x=1.
Upper boundary: Lower branch of parabola y=−3x
Lower boundary: Straight line y=3x−6
A=∫01(yupper−ylower)dx
Substitute the Boundaries
A=∫01[(−3x)−(3x−6)]dx
Simplify the integrand:
A=∫01(−3x1/2−3x+6)dx
Integrate the Function
∫−3x1/2dx=−3⋅3/2x3/2=−2x3/2
∫−3xdx=−23x2
∫6dx=6x
A=[−2x3/2−23x2+6x]01
Evaluate the Limits
Substitute upper limit x=1:
A=−2(1)−23(1)2+6(1)
A=−2−1.5+6=2.5
Lower limit x=0 gives 0.
So, A=25
Calculate 6A
We found the area A=25.
The question asks for the value of 6A.
6A=6×25
6A=3×5=15

Analyzing the Setup
The problem defines a region bounded by the inequalities 0≤9x≤y2 and y≥3x−6. These constraints define a specific area on the Cartesian plane.
The condition 9x≤y2 implies that we are considering the region outside the parabola y2=9x. The condition y≥3x−6 places us above the line y=3x−6.
The Intersection Points
To determine the limits of integration, we identify the intersection points of the curves y2=9x and y=3x−6. Substituting the line equation into the parabola equation yields:
(3x−6)2=9x
Expanding the left side, we obtain:
9x2−36x+36=9x
Rearranging the terms into a standard quadratic form results in:
9x2−45x+36=0
Dividing the entire equation by 9, we simplify the expression to:
x2−5x+4=0
Factoring the quadratic, we find (x−1)(x−4)=0, which gives us the intersection points at x=1 and x=4.
The Integral of Discovery
We focus on the region between x=0 and x=1. In this interval, the upper boundary is the lower branch of the parabola, y=−3x, and the lower boundary is the line y=3x−6.
The area A is calculated using the definite integral:
A=∫01(yupper−ylower)dx
Substituting the functions into the integral, we get:
A=∫01(−3x−(3x−6))dx
This simplifies to:
A=∫01(−3x1/2−3x+6)dx
Final Calculation
We perform the integration term by term:
A=[−3⋅3/2x3/2−23x2+6x]01
A=[−2x3/2−23x2+6x]01
Evaluating at the boundaries x=1 and x=0:
A=(−2(1)3/2−23(1)2+6(1))−(0)
A=−2−1.5+6=2.5
Thus, the area is A=25. The problem asks for the value of 6A:
