Question

Area bounded by the curves $$y = {e^x},\,y = {e^{ - x}}$$    and the straight line $$x = 1$$  is (in sq. units)

A. $$e + \frac{1}{e}$$
B. $$e + \frac{1}{e} + 2$$
C. $$e + \frac{1}{e} - 2$$  
D. $$e - \frac{1}{e} + 2$$
Answer :   $$e + \frac{1}{e} - 2$$
Solution :
Given curves are $$y = {e^x}{\text{ and }}y = {e^{ - x}}$$
Now, $${e^x} = {e^{ - x}} \Rightarrow x = 0$$
$$\therefore $$  Area
$$\eqalign{ & = A = \int\limits_0^1 {\left( {{e^x} - {e^{ - x}}} \right)dx} \cr & = \left( {{e^x} + {e^{ - x}}} \right)_0^1 \cr & = \left[ {\left( {e + {e^{ - 1}}} \right) - \left( {{e^0} + {e^{ - 0}}} \right)} \right] \cr & = e + \frac{1}{e} - 2 \cr} $$
