Question

Accepted Answer

To determine the area of the region described by $ R = \{(x, y) \mid x^2 + y^2 \le 1 \text{ and } y^2 \le 1 - x\} $, we need to analyze the constraints given by the inequalities.

1. **Understanding the Region:**

- The inequality $ x^2 + y^2 \le 1 $ describes a circle centered at the origin with radius 1.
   - The inequality $ y^2 \le 1 - x $ describes a region bounded by the parabola $ y^2 = 1 - x $.

2. **Intersection of the Circle and Parabola:**

- To find the intersection points of the circle and the parabola, set $ x^2 + y^2 = 1 $ equal to $ y^2 = 1 - x $.
   - Substituting $ y^2 = 1 - x $ into the circle's equation gives:
     $$
     x^2 + (1 - x) = 1 \implies x^2 + 1 - x = 1 \implies x^2 - x = 0 \implies x(x - 1) = 0
     $$
   - Thus, $ x = 0 $ or $ x = 1 $.

3. **Analyzing the Region:**

- For $ x = 0 $, $ y^2 = 1 $ gives $ y = \pm 1 $.
   - For $ x = 1 $, $ y^2 = 0 $ gives $ y = 0 $.
   - The region of interest is bounded by the circle and the parabola, from $ x = 0 $ to $ x = 1 $.

4. **Calculating the Area:**

- The area under the parabola from $ x = 0 $ to $ x = 1 $ is given by:
     $$
     \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{1 - x} \, dx
     $$
   - The area of the circular segment from $ x = 0 $ to $ x = 1 $ is:
     $$
     \frac{1}{4} \pi \text{ (quarter circle)}
     $$

5. **Evaluating the Integral:**

- The integral $ \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{1 - x} \, dx $ can be solved using the substitution $ u = 1 - x $, $ du = -dx $:
     $$
     \int_{1}^{0} \sqrt{u} \, (-du) = \int_{0}^{1} u^{1/2} \, du = \left[ \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2} \right]_{0}^{1} = \frac{2}{3}
     $$

6. **Total Area:**

- The total area of the region $ R $ is the area of the quarter circle minus the area under the parabola:
     $$
     \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{2}{3}
     $$
   - However, since the region $ R $ is symmetric about the x-axis, the total area is twice this value:
     $$
     2 \left( \frac{\pi}{4} - \frac{2}{3} \right) = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{4}{3} + \frac{4}{3} = \frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{4}{3}
     $$

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3: $\frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{4}{3}$.

**Explanation of Incorrect Options:**

- **Option 1: $\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{2}{3}$**: This option does not account for the correct calculation of the area under the parabola and the symmetry of the region.
- **Option 2: $\frac{\pi}{2} + \frac{2}{3}$**: This option underestimates the contribution of the area under the parabola.
- **Option 4: $\frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{4}{3}$**: This option incorrectly subtracts the area under the parabola without considering the symmetry and the correct integration limits.

Thus, Option 3 is the correct choice, as it accurately reflects the total area of the region $ R $.
