Consider a square with vertices at $$(1,1), (-1,1), (-1,-1)$$ and $$(1, -1)$$. Let $$S$$ be the region consisting of all points inside the square which are nearer to the origin than to any edge. Sketch the region $$S$$ and find its area.

In what ratio does the $$x$$-axis divide the area of the region
bounded by the parabolas $$y = 4x - {x^2}$$ and $$y = {x^2} - x?$$

Sketch the region bounded by the curves $$y = {x^2}$$ and
$$y = {2 \over {1 + {x^2}}}.$$ Find the area.

Sketch the curves and identify the region bounded by
$$x = {1 \over 2},x = 2,y = \ln \,x$$ and $$y = {2^x}.$$ Find the area of this region.
