Question 2 Find the area of the region bounded by y2 = 9š„, š„ = 2, š„ = 4 and the š„-axis in the first quadrant. Given curve š¦^2=9š„ We have to find area between x = 2 and x = 4 ā“ We have to find area of BCFE Area of BCFE = ā«_2^4ā暦 .ć šš„ We know that š¦^2=9š„ Taking square root on both sides š¦=±ā9š„ š¦=±3āš„ Since BCFE is in 1st Quadrant We take positive value of y ā“ š¦=3āš„ Area of BCFE = ā«_2^4ā暦 .ć šš„ = 3ā«_2^4āāš„ šš„ = 3ā«_2^4āć(š„)^(1/2) šš„ć = 3 [š„^(1/2 + 1)/(1/2 + 1 )]_2^4 = 3 [š„^(3/2 )/(3/2)]_2^4 = 3 Ć 2/3 [š„^(3/2) ]_2^4 = 2 [(4)^(3/2 )ā(2)^(3/2) ] = 2 [((4)^(1/2) )^3ā((2)^(1/2) )^3 ] = 2 [(2)^3ā(ā2)^3 ] = 2 [8 ā2ā2] = 16 ā 4ā2 Thus, Area = 16 ā 4āš square units
