Area inside the parabola y2=4axbetween the lines x=aandx=4az
A
4a2
B
8a2
C
283a2
D
353a2
Answer
283a2
Explanation
Solution
We have y2=4ax ⇒ y=2ax
We know the equations of lines x=a and x=4a
∴ The area inside the parabola between the lines
A=∫a4aydx=∫a4a2axdx=2a∫a4ax21dx=2a[23x23]a4a
=34a21[(4a)23−(a)23]=34a21a23[8−1] =328a2.
