Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y^2 = 2x and x^2 + y^2 = 4x.
Find the area of the region bounded by the curve y^2 = 2x and x^2 + y^2 = 4x.

The equation of curves are y2 = 2and x2 + y2 = 4x

Solving the equations,

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} {{x}^{2~}}-\text{ }4x\text{ }+\text{ }{{y}^{2~}}=\text{ }0  \\ {{x}^{2~}}-\text{ }4x\text{ }+\text{ }4\text{ }-\text{ }4\text{ }+\text{ }{{y}^{2~}}=\text{ }0  \\ {{\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }2 \right)}^{2}}~+\text{ }{{y}^{2}}~=\text{ }4  \\ \end{array}\]

It’s clearly seen that the equation of the circle having its centre (2, 0) and radius 2.

Solving x2 + y2 = 4x and y2 = 2x

x2 + 2x = 4x

    \[\begin{array}{*{35}{l}} {{x}^{2}}~+\text{ }2x\text{ }-\text{ }4x\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ {{x}^{2}}~-\text{ }2x\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ x\left( x\text{ }-\text{ }2 \right)\text{ }=\text{ }0  \\ So,\text{ }x\text{ }=\text{ }0,\text{ }2  \\ \end{array}\]

Now, the area of the required region is given as
