Area Under the Curve
Area between hyperbola and parabola
Grade 12
Question:
<p>Area bounded by \(xy=1\), x-axis, \(x=1\) and \(x=2\). [JEE Advanced 2003]</p>
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: y = 1/x. Area = \int_1^2 (1/x)dx = [ln x]_1^2 = ln 2.
<div class='solution'>
<p>$$A=\int_1^2\frac{1}{x}dx=[\ln x]_1^2=\ln 2$$</p>
</div>
Correct Answer: A
