The area of the region (in sq. units), in the first quadrant bounded by the parabola $y=9 x^2$ and the lines $x=0, y=1$ and $y=4$, is :
-
$7 / 9$
-
$14 / 3$
-
$7 / 3$
-
$14 / 9$
Solution
$
\begin{aligned}
& \text { Required area }=\int_{y=1}^4 \sqrt{\frac{y}{9}} d y \\
& =\frac{1}{3} \int_{y=1}^4 y^{1 / 2} d y=\frac{1}{3} \times\left.\frac{2}{3}\left(y^{3 / 2}\right)\right|_1 ^4 \\
& =\frac{2}{9}\left[\left(4^{1 / 2}\right)^3-\left(1^{1 / 2}\right)^3\right]=\frac{2}{9}[8-1]
\end{aligned}
$
$
=\frac{2}{9} \times 7=\frac{14}{9} \text { sq. units. }
