    Question

    Find the area enclosed between the curve y = √(25 –

    x²) and the x-axis in the first quadrant.
    A (25π)/16 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B (25π)/4 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C (25 π)/2 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D (25π)/8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    We are given the curve: y = √(25 – x²) This is the upper half of a circle with equation: x² + y² = 25
    ⇒ a circle of radius 5, centered at the origin. We are asked to find the area enclosed between the curve and the x-axis in the first quadrant, i.e., one-fourth of the area of the full circle. Area of full circle = πr² = π × 25 = 25π So, area in the first quadrant = (1/4) × 25π = 25π / 4
