Correct Answer :

Option C

π 2

Solution :

The correct option is:
π 2

Step-by-Step Explanation:

To find the area of the region bounded by the curve y=21-x2, the line x[0,1], and the x-axis, we set up a definite integral representing this area.

The area A under the curve y(x) from x=0 to x=1 is given by:
A = 0 1 y d x = 0 1 2 1 - x 2 d x

We can factor out the constant 2 from the integral:
A = 2 0 1 1 - x 2 d x

Next, we use the standard integral formula for a2-x2dx where a=1:
1 - x 2 d x = x 2 1 - x 2 + 1 2 sin - 1 ( x )

Now, applying the limits of integration from 0 to 1:
A = 2 [ x 2 1 - x 2 + 1 2 sin - 1 ( x ) ] 0 1

Evaluating this expression at the upper limit x=1:
Value at 1 = 1 2 1 - 1 2 + 1 2 sin - 1 ( 1 ) = 0 + 1 2 π 2 = π 4

Evaluating this expression at the lower limit x=0:
Value at 0 = 0 2 1 - 0 2 + 1 2 sin - 1 ( 0 ) = 0 + 0 = 0

Subtracting the lower limit evaluation from the upper limit evaluation, we get:
A = 2 π 4 - 0 = 2 π 4 = π 2

Thus, the area of the bounded region is indeed π2 square units.
