Explanation

The question asks for the area in the first quadrant bounded by the circle x² + y² = 4 and the lines x = 0 and x = 2. This region is a quarter of the circle with radius 2. The area can be calculated using integration: ∫₀² 4−x2\sqrt{4 - x²} dx. Using the standard integral formula from the context, this equals [x/2 4−x2\sqrt{4 - x²} + 2 sin⁻¹(x/2)]₀². Evaluating at x = 2 gives 0 + 2(π/2) = π, and at x = 0 gives 0. Therefore, the area is π square units.

Solution Steps

  1. Step 1: Identify the region - first quadrant bounded by circle x² + y² = 4, x = 0 (y-axis), and x = 2.

  2. Step 2: Express y from the circle equation: y = 4−x2\sqrt{4 - x²} (positive in first quadrant).

  3. Step 3: Set up the integral: Area = ∫₀² 4−x2\sqrt{4 - x²} dx.

  4. Step 4: Apply the standard integral: ∫ a2−x2\sqrt{a² - x²} dx = (x/2)a2−x2\sqrt{a² - x²} + (a²/2)sin⁻¹(x/a).

  5. Step 5: Evaluate: [(x/2)4−x2\sqrt{4 - x²} + 2 sin⁻¹(x/2)]₀² = [0 + 2(π/2)] - [0 + 0] = π.
