whats the area between:
y=underroot(2x), y axis and the line y=4

ans:32/3
and area between x^2=4ay and its latus rectum

You can get the upper bound for the first integral by solving for . Then evaluate the integral and subtract it from a rectangle to get your answer.

Alternatively, you can get the answer directly by switching and , rearranging to make the subject and integrating from 0 to 4. The curve will become a parabola, but it doesn't affect the integral.

The latus rectum of is .

If you shift the parabola down by , we can integrate on the x-axis (the areas will still be the same). To get the bounds, find the x-intercepts of the new shifted parabola. Finally, take the absolute value of the integral to get the area.
