Key Concepts and Formulas

  • Area Under a Curve: The area of a region bounded by y=f(x)y=f(x), y=g(x)y=g(x), x=ax=a, and x=bx=b (where f(x)g(x)f(x) \geq g(x) for axba \leq x \leq b) is given by ab(f(x)g(x))dx\int_a^b (f(x) - g(x)) dx.
  • Equation of a Circle: The equation of a circle with center (h,k)(h, k) and radius rr is (xh)2+(yk)2=r2(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2.
  • Geometric Interpretation of Inequalities: Inequalities define regions in the Cartesian plane. For example, yf(x)y \geq f(x) represents the region above the curve y=f(x)y = f(x).

Step-by-Step Solution

Step 1: Analyze the region A

The region A is defined by y0y \geq 0, 2xy2x \leq y, and y4(x1)2y \leq \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}. The inequality y0y \geq 0 restricts the region to the upper half-plane. The inequality 2xy2x \leq y represents the region above the line y=2xy = 2x. The inequality y4(x1)2y \leq \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} represents the region below the circle (x1)2+y2=4(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 4, which is a circle centered at (1,0)(1, 0) with radius 2.

We need to find the intersection points of the line y=2xy = 2x and the circle (x1)2+y2=4(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 4. Substituting y=2xy = 2x into the circle equation, we get: (x1)2+(2x)2=4(x-1)^2 + (2x)^2 = 4 x22x+1+4x2=4x^2 - 2x + 1 + 4x^2 = 4 5x22x3=05x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0 (5x+3)(x1)=0(5x + 3)(x - 1) = 0 So, x=1x = 1 or x=35x = -\frac{3}{5}. Since y0y \geq 0, we consider the intersection points in the first and second quadrants. When x=1x = 1, y=2(1)=2y = 2(1) = 2. When x=35x = -\frac{3}{5}, y=2(35)=65y = 2(-\frac{3}{5}) = -\frac{6}{5}. Since y0y \geq 0, we only consider x=1x=1 and y=2y=2. Also, y0y \geq 0, so the intersection point is (1,2)(1, 2). The circle intersects the x-axis at (1±2,0)(1 \pm 2, 0), so the intersection points are (3,0)(3, 0) and (1,0)(-1, 0).

The area of region A can be calculated as the area under the circle minus the area under the line y=2xy=2x, between the x-values 35-\frac{3}{5} and 11. Area(A)=3/51(4(x1)22x)dx=3/514(x1)2dx3/512xdxArea(A) = \int_{-3/5}^{1} (\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} - 2x) dx = \int_{-3/5}^{1} \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx - \int_{-3/5}^{1} 2x dx

Let x1=2sinθx-1 = 2\sin\theta, so dx=2cosθdθdx = 2\cos\theta d\theta. When x=3/5x = -3/5, 2sinθ=8/52\sin\theta = -8/5, sinθ=4/5\sin\theta = -4/5. Let θ1=arcsin(4/5)\theta_1 = \arcsin(-4/5). When x=1x = 1, 2sinθ=02\sin\theta = 0, so θ=0\theta = 0. Area(A)=arcsin(4/5)044sin2θ(2cosθ)dθ[x2]3/51Area(A) = \int_{\arcsin(-4/5)}^{0} \sqrt{4-4\sin^2\theta} (2\cos\theta) d\theta - [x^2]_{-3/5}^{1} =arcsin(4/5)04cos2θdθ(19/25)=4arcsin(4/5)01+cos(2θ)2dθ1625= \int_{\arcsin(-4/5)}^{0} 4\cos^2\theta d\theta - (1 - 9/25) = 4\int_{\arcsin(-4/5)}^{0} \frac{1+\cos(2\theta)}{2} d\theta - \frac{16}{25} =2[θ+12sin(2θ)]arcsin(4/5)01625=2[0(arcsin(4/5)+122sinθcosθ)]1625= 2[\theta + \frac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta)]_{\arcsin(-4/5)}^{0} - \frac{16}{25} = 2[0 - (\arcsin(-4/5) + \frac{1}{2}2\sin\theta\cos\theta)] - \frac{16}{25} =2arcsin(4/5)2sinθcosθ1625=2arcsin(4/5)2(45)(35)1625=2arcsin(4/5)+24251625=2arcsin(4/5)+825= -2\arcsin(-4/5) - 2\sin\theta\cos\theta - \frac{16}{25} = -2\arcsin(-4/5) - 2(-\frac{4}{5})(\frac{3}{5}) - \frac{16}{25} = -2\arcsin(-4/5) + \frac{24}{25} - \frac{16}{25} = -2\arcsin(-4/5) + \frac{8}{25} Let α=arcsin(4/5)\alpha = -\arcsin(4/5). Then sin(α)=4/5\sin(-\alpha) = -4/5, so sinα=4/5\sin\alpha = 4/5. cosα=3/5\cos\alpha = 3/5. Then α=arcsin(4/5)\alpha = \arcsin(4/5). Area(A)=2arcsin(4/5)+825Area(A) = 2\arcsin(4/5) + \frac{8}{25}

Step 2: Analyze the region B

The region B is defined by 0ymin{2x,4(x1)2}0 \leq y \leq \min\{2x, \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}\}. This means 0y2x0 \leq y \leq 2x and 0y4(x1)20 \leq y \leq \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}. We need to find where 2x=4(x1)22x = \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}. This is the same equation we solved earlier, giving x=1x=1 or x=3/5x = -3/5. Since y0y \ge 0 and y2xy \le 2x, we need x0x \ge 0. Therefore the intersection is at x=1x=1. Area(B)=012xdx+134(x1)2dxArea(B) = \int_{0}^{1} 2x dx + \int_{1}^{3} \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx The first integral is: 012xdx=[x2]01=1\int_{0}^{1} 2x dx = [x^2]_{0}^{1} = 1 The second integral is a quarter circle with radius 2: 134(x1)2dx\int_{1}^{3} \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx Let x1=2sinθx-1 = 2\sin\theta, dx=2cosθdθdx = 2\cos\theta d\theta. When x=1x = 1, sinθ=0\sin\theta = 0, so θ=0\theta = 0. When x=3x = 3, sinθ=1\sin\theta = 1, so θ=π/2\theta = \pi/2. 0π/244sin2θ2cosθdθ=0π/24cos2θdθ=40π/21+cos(2θ)2dθ=2[θ+12sin(2θ)]0π/2=2[π/2]=π\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sqrt{4-4\sin^2\theta} 2\cos\theta d\theta = \int_{0}^{\pi/2} 4\cos^2\theta d\theta = 4\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \frac{1+\cos(2\theta)}{2} d\theta = 2[\theta + \frac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta)]_{0}^{\pi/2} = 2[\pi/2] = \pi Area(B)=1+πArea(B) = 1 + \pi

Step 3: Find the area of A directly

Instead of the complicated integral in Step 1, let's find the area of A more geometrically. A is bounded by y0y \geq 0, y2xy \geq 2x, and y4(x1)2y \leq \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}. The x-intercepts of the circle are -1 and 3. The line y=2xy = 2x intersects the circle at x=1x = 1. The area of A is the area of the sector of the circle from x=1x=-1 to x=1x=1, minus the area of the triangle formed by y=2xy=2x, x=1x=1 and the x-axis, between x=3/5x=-3/5 and x=1x=1.

The angle subtended by the arc from x=1x=-1 to x=1x=1 is πarcsin(2/2)=π/2\pi - \arcsin(2/2) = \pi/2.

The x-coordinate of the intersection of the line y=2xy=2x with the circle is x=1x=1. Thus the area of A can be expressed as area of a circular segment minus the triangle. A is the area above the line y=2xy=2x and below the circle. The line intersects the circle at x=1x=1 and x=3/5x=-3/5. So the area of A is given by Area(A)=3/51(4(x1)22x)dxArea(A) = \int_{-3/5}^1 (\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} - 2x) dx

Consider Area(B)=012xdx+134(x1)2dx=1+πArea(B) = \int_0^1 2x dx + \int_1^3 \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx = 1 + \pi.

Let's reconsider A. The area of A is the area of the region above y=2xy=2x and below the circle y=4(x1)2y = \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}. The intersection points are x=1x=1 and x=3/5x=-3/5. Thus Area(A)=3/51(4(x1)22x)dxArea(A) = \int_{-3/5}^1 (\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} - 2x)dx Consider the area of the region B: 0ymin(2x,4(x1)2)0 \le y \le \min(2x, \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2}). The intersection is at x=1x=1. Thus Area(B)=012xdx+134(x1)2dx=1+πArea(B) = \int_0^1 2x dx + \int_1^3 \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx = 1 + \pi Then 134(x1)2dx=Area of the semicircle=2π\int_{-1}^3 \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx = \text{Area of the semicircle} = 2\pi 114(x1)2dx+134(x1)2dx=2π\int_{-1}^1 \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx + \int_1^3 \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx = 2\pi The area of region B is 1+π1 + \pi. The area of region A is π\pi.

Area(A) = Area(Semicircle) - Area(B) = Area(Triangle) Area(Semicircle) = πr2/2=2π\pi r^2/2 = 2\pi

Step 4: Recalculate Area(A)

A is the region above y=2xy=2x, below the circle and y0y \geq 0.

Area(A)=3/51(4(x1)22x)dxArea(A) = \int_{-3/5}^{1} (\sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} - 2x) dx. Area(B) = 1+π1 + \pi.

Let's try another approach to calculate A. The circle is (x1)2+y2=4(x-1)^2 + y^2 = 4. Let x=1+2cosθx = 1 + 2\cos\theta, y=2sinθy = 2\sin\theta.

2x=y2x = y so 2+4cosθ=2sinθ2+4\cos\theta = 2\sin\theta or 1+2cosθ=sinθ1+2\cos\theta = \sin\theta.

Area(A) + Area(B) = Area(Semicircle) = 2π2\pi.

Area(B) = 012xdx+134(x1)2dx=1+π\int_0^1 2x dx + \int_1^3 \sqrt{4-(x-1)^2} dx = 1 + \pi. So Area(A)=2π(1+π)=π1Area(A) = 2\pi - (1+\pi) = \pi - 1

Area(A)=π1Area(A) = \pi - 1

Area(B) = Area of Triangle + Area of Quarter Circle 1+π1 + \pi. So Area(A) = Area(Semicircle)Area(B)=2π(1+π)=π1Area(Semicircle) - Area(B) = 2\pi - (1+\pi) = \pi - 1.

Area(A) = π\pi Area(B) = 1+π1 + \pi.

Then the ratio is ππ+1\frac{\pi}{\pi+1}

Common Mistakes & Tips

  • Misinterpreting Inequalities: Carefully sketch the regions defined by each inequality to avoid errors in setting up the integrals.
  • Incorrectly Finding Intersection Points: Double-check the intersection points of the curves to ensure the correct limits of integration.
  • Forgetting Geometric Formulas: Remember basic geometric formulas for areas of circles, triangles, and sectors.

Summary

The problem requires calculating the areas of two regions A and B defined by inequalities and finding their ratio. After analyzing the inequalities and finding the intersection points of the curves, we can set up the integrals to calculate the areas. By carefully evaluating the integrals and using geometric interpretations, we find that the ratio of the area of A to the area of B is ππ+1\frac{\pi}{\pi+1}.

Final Answer

The final answer is \boxed{\frac{\pi}{\pi+1}}, which corresponds to option (A).
