The area bounded by an ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 and the lines x=0,x=aex=0, x=ae and the xx-axis in the first quadrant, where ee is the eccentricity of the ellipse, is:

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

Area =∫0aebaa2−x2 dx=ba[x2a2−x2+a22sin⁡−1xa]0ae=ab2[sin⁡−1e+e1−e2]=\int_0^{ae}\frac{b}{a}\sqrt{a^2-x^2}\,dx=\frac{b}{a}\left[\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2-x^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a}\right]_0^{ae}=\frac{ab}{2}\left[\sin^{-1}e+e\sqrt{1-e^2}\right].
