Find the area between y2 = 4x +12 and x = 3.

A. 39.19 B.42.39 C. 46.50 D.54.20

Given:

Equation of a parabola- y2 = 4x +12

Equation of a line- x =3

Required:

Area between parabola and the line

Solution:

y2 = 4x +12

x=3

Solving for y:

y2 = 4x +12

y = (4x +12)1/2 --- eq. 1

y=0 --- eq. 2

To solve for the area,

3
A= 2 ∫ y dx
−3

3
A = 2 ∫ ¿ ¿4x +12)1/2 dx
−3
 u = 4x +12

du = 4 dx

du/4 = dx

3
A = 2 (1/4)∫ ¿ ¿u)1/2 du
−3

A = ½ [ 2u3/2 / 3] with upper limit = 3, lower limit = -3

A = ½ [ 2/3 (4x +12)3/2] with upper limit = 3, lower limit = -3

A = 2/6 (4x +12)3/2 with upper limit = 3, lower limit = -3

A = 1/3 [4(3) +12]3/2 - 1/3 [4(-3) +12]3/2

A = 39. 19183588 – 0

A = 39.19183588 sq. units

Thus, the area between y2 = 4x +12 and x = 3 is 39.19 sq. units.
