Area of bounded Regions
Question

The area bounded by the curve f(x) = x + sin x and its inverse function between the ordinates x= 0 to x = 2π, is

Difficult
Solution

Clearly,f:[0,2π][0,2π] given by

f(x) =x + sin x is a bijection. So, its inverse exists, the graph of f1(x)  is the mirror image of the graph of f(x) in the line y = x.

 Required area = 4 (Area of one loop)

                              =40π(x+sinx)dx0πxdx=40πsinxdx=4[cosx]0π=4[cosπcos0]=8 sq units
