The area of the region bounded by the curve $y^2=9 x$ and the line $y=3 x$ is

The area of the region bounded by the curve $y^2=9 x$ and the line $y=3 x$ is
  1. $\frac{3}{2}$ sq.units
  2. 1 sq.units
  3. $\frac{1}{2}$ sq.units
  4. $\frac{1}{4}$ sq.units

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \text { Required area }=\int_0^1(3 \sqrt{x}-3 x) d x \\ & =3\left[\frac{2}{3} x^{3 / 2}-\frac{x^2}{2}\right]_0^1 \\ & =3\left(\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}\right) \\ & =3 \times \frac{1}{6}=\frac{1}{2}\end{aligned}$
