Question 13 Marks
Find the area of the region bounded by the parabola $y^2=25 x$ and the line $x=5$.
Answer
Given the equation of the parabola is $y^2=25 x$ $\therefore y =5 \sqrt{ } x \ldots \ldots[\because \because$ In first quadrant, $y >0]$
Required area $=$ area of the region OQRPO $=2($ area of the region ORPO)
$
\begin{aligned}
& =2 \int_0^5 y \cdot d x \\
& =2 \int_0^5 5 \sqrt{x} \cdot d x \\
& =10 \int_0^5 x^{\frac{1}{2}} \cdot d x \\
& =10\left[\frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}}\right]_0^5 \\
& =\frac{20}{3}\left[(5)^{\frac{3}{2}}-0\right] \\
& =\frac{20}{3}(5 \sqrt{(5)} \\
& =\frac{100 \sqrt{5}}{3} \text { sq.units. }
\end{aligned}
