Using integration, find the area of the region enclosed between the two circles:
straight x squared plus straight y squared space equals space 4 space and space left parenthesis straight x minus 2 right parenthesis squared plus straight y squared space equals space 4.

Solution

Given equations of the circles are:
straight x squared plus straight y squared space equals space 4 space space space... left parenthesis 1 right parenthesis
left parenthesis straight x minus 2 right parenthesis squared plus straight y squared space equals space 4 space... left parenthesis 2 right parenthesis
Equation (1) is a circle with centre O at the origin and radius 2. Equation (2) is a circle with centre C(2, 0) and radius 2.
Solving (1) and (2), we have:
left parenthesis straight x minus 2 right parenthesis squared plus straight y squared space equals space straight x squared plus straight y squared
straight x squared minus 4 straight x plus 4 plus straight y squared space equals space straight x squared plus straight y squared
straight x space equals space 1
This gives straight y equals plus-or-minus square root of 3
Thus, the points of intersection of the given circles are straight A open parentheses 1 comma space square root of 3 close parentheses space and space straight A apostrophe left parenthesis 1 comma space minus square root of 3 right parenthesis space as space shown space in space the space figure. space
