Area of the region bounded by the curve y2 = 4 x, y-axis and the line y = 3 is
  • 2

  • 9 over 4
  • 9 over 3
  • 9 over 4

Solution

B.

9 over 4

The equation of curve is
y2 = 4.x
  We are to find the area bounded by the curve straight y squared space equals space 4 straight x comma space space straight y minus axis space and space the space line space straight y space equals space 3.
                       Required area  = integral subscript 0 superscript 3 straight x space dy space equals space integral subscript 0 superscript 3 straight y squared over 4 dy
                                                 equals space 1 fourth integral subscript 0 superscript 3 straight y squared space dy space space equals 1 fourth open square brackets straight y cubed over 3 close square brackets subscript 0 superscript 3
equals space 1 over 12 open square brackets straight y cubed close square brackets subscript 0 superscript 3 space equals space 1 over 12 left parenthesis 27 minus 0 right parenthesis
equals space 27 over 12 space equals 9 over 4
