    What is the area bounded by the curves \[y={{e}^{x}},y={{e}^{-x}}\] and the straight line\[x=1\]?

    A) \[\left( e+\frac{1}{e} \right)\] sq. unit

    B) \[\left( e-\frac{1}{e} \right)\] sq. unit

    C)  \[\left( e+\frac{1}{e}-2 \right)\] sq. unit

    D) \[\left( e-\frac{1}{e}-2 \right)\] sq. unit

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Given equations of curves are \[y={{e}^{x}}\] and \[y={{e}^{-x}}\]. \[\Rightarrow {{e}^{x}}=\frac{1}{{{e}^{x}}}\Rightarrow {{e}^{2x}}={{e}^{0}}\Rightarrow x=0\] Also, equation of straight line gives \[x=1\] \[\therefore \]Required area \[=\int\limits_{0}^{1}{({{e}^{x}}-{{e}^{-x}})dx}\] \[=\left[ {{e}^{x}}+{{e}^{-x}} \right]_{0}^{1}=e+{{e}^{-1}}-{{e}^{0}}+{{e}^{-0}}\]             \[=\left( e+\frac{1}{e}-2 \right)\] sq unit
