Question 12 Marks
Find the area of the region bounded by the curve $y^2=9 x, x=2, x=4$ and the $x$-axis in the first quadrant.
Answer

Area of the region bounded by $x=2, x=4$ and the curve
$
\begin{array}{l}
=\int_2^4 y d x \\
=\int_2^4 3 \sqrt{x} d x \\
=3 \times \frac{2}{3}\left(x^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)_2^4 \\
=2\left(4^{\frac{3}{2}}-(2)^{\frac{3}{2}}\right) \\
=2(8-2 \sqrt{2})=16-4 \sqrt{2} \text { square units. }
\end{array}
