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 :
  1. $7 / 9$
  2. $14 / 3$
  3. $7 / 3$
  4. $14 / 9$

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. } $
