JEE MAIN - Mathematics (2005 - No. 21)

The area enclosed between the curve $$y = {\log _e}\left( {x + e} \right)$$ and the coordinate axes is :
$$1$$
$$2$$
$$3$$
$$4$$

Explanation

The graph of the curve $$y = {\log _e}\left( {x + e} \right)$$ is as shown in the fig.

AIEEE 2005 Mathematics - Area Under The Curves Question 140 English Explanation

Required area

$$A = \int\limits_{1 - e}^0 {ydx} = \int\limits_{1 - e}^0 {{{\log }_e}} \left( {x + e} \right)dx$$

put $$x + e = t \Rightarrow dx = dt$$

also At $$x = 1 - e,t = 1$$

At $$x = 0,\,\,t = e$$

$$\therefore$$ $$A = \int\limits_1^e {{{\log }_e}} \,tdt = \left[ {t\,{{\log }_e}t - t_1^e} \right]$$

$$e - e - 0 + 1 = 1$$

Hence the required area is $$1$$ square unit.
