Find the area of the region bounded by the parabola x² = 4y and the straight line x = 4y − 2.
- A. 9/8
- B. 9/4
- C. 3/8
- D. 5/8
Answer: A) 9/8
Explanation: Substitute y = (x+2)/4 into parabola: x² = x+2 → x²−x−2=0. Roots x=−1, 2. Area = ∫(−1 to 2) ((x+2)/4 − x²/4) dx = 1/4 [x²/2 + 2x − x³/3] from −1 to 2 = 9/8 sq units.
