Find the area of the region bounded by line $x = 2$ and parabola $y^2 = 8x$. |
$\frac{16}{3}$ square units $\frac{32}{3}$ square units $\frac{8}{3}$ square units $\frac{64}{3}$ square units |
$\frac{32}{3}$ square units |
The correct answer is Option (2) → $\frac{32}{3}$ square units We have, $y^2 = 8x$ and $x = 2$. $∴$ Area of shaded region $= 2 \int\limits_{0}^{2} \sqrt{8x} \, dx = 2 \cdot 2\sqrt{2} \int\limits_{0}^{2} x^{1/2} \, dx$ $= 4 \cdot \sqrt{2} \left[ \frac{x^{3/2}}{3/2} \right]_{0}^{2} = 4\sqrt{2} \left[ \frac{2}{3} \cdot 2\sqrt{2} - 0 \right]$ $= \frac{32}{3} \text{ sq. units}$ |
