Show Hint
- \( \frac{7}{3} \)
- 2
- \( \frac{8}{3} \)
- 3
The Correct Option is C
Approach Solution - 1
The equation of the tangent is given by: \[ y = m(x + 2) \] Substituting \( y^2 = x - 2 \) into the equation: \[ (m(n + 2))^2 = n - 2 \] This leads to the quadratic equation: \[ m^2x^2 + (4m^2 - 1)x + (4m^2 + 2) = 0 \] Now, for the discriminant to be zero (since it's a tangent line): \[ D = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad (4m^2 - 1)^2 - 4m^2(4m^2 + 2) = 0 \] Solving for \( m \): \[ m = \frac{1}{4} \] Now substituting into the equation for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{1}{4}(n + 2) \] The point of tangency is \( (6, 2) \). Now, calculate the area: \[ A = \int_0^2 \left( (y^2 + 2) - (4y - 2) \right) dy \] After solving the integral: \[ A = \frac{8}{3} \]
Thus, the correct option is \( (3) \).
Approach Solution -2
Step 1: The slope of the tangent is given by:
\[ m_T = \frac{1}{2t}. \]
From the equation, we have:
\[ \frac{t}{t^2 + 4} = \frac{1}{2t}. \]
By simplifying this, we get:
\[ 2t^2 = t^2 + 4. \]
Which further simplifies to:
\[ t^2 = 4. \]
Step 2: Now, the area \( A \) is given by:
\[ A = \int_0^2 \left( (y^2 + 2) - (4y - 2) \right) \, dy. \]
On solving this integral, we get:
\[ A = \left[ \frac{(y - 2)^3}{3} \right]_0^2 = \frac{8}{3}. \]
