Question
Find the area of the region enclosed by the parabola y2 = 4 a x and the line y = mx.
Solution
The equation of parabola is y2 = 4 a x ... (1)
The line y = mx meets (1) where
or



Area bounded by curve (1) above the x - axis ordinates
is

Area bounded by line y = m x, above the x-axis and ordinates x = 0,



The line y = mx meets (1) where

or



Area bounded by curve (1) above the x - axis ordinates


Area bounded by line y = m x, above the x-axis and ordinates x = 0,
