Consider two regions R_(1):"points P are nearer to (1,0) than to "x=-1. R_(2): "Points P are nearer to (0,0) than to (8,0)" Find the area of the region common to R_(1) and R_(2).

<P>

Solution :`R_(1) :` points P(X,y) are nearer to (1,0) than to x=-1
`therefore""sqrt((x-1)^(2)+y^(2))lt|x+1|`
`rArr""y^(2)lt4x`
`rArr"point P lie inside parabola "y^(2)=4x`
`R_(2) :` Points P(x,y) are nearer to (0,0) than to (8,0)
`therefore""|x|lt|x-8|`
`rArr""x^(2)LTX^(2)-16x+64`
`rArr""xlt4`
`rArr""`point P lie to the left side of line x=4
The AREA of common region of `R_(1) and R_(2)` is area bounded by x=4 and `y^(2)=4x.`

`therefore"Required area "=2overset(4)underset(0)int(4-(y^(2))/(4))dy` (Integrating along x-axis)
`=2[4y-(y^(3))/(12)]_(0)^(4)`
`=2[16-(64)/(12)]`
`(64)/(3)` sq. units
