The shaded region is bounded by \(x=\sqrt y\), the y-axis, \(y=0\), and \(y=4\). Find its area.
Hints
- The y-axis is the left boundary \(x=0\).
- The horizontal width is \(\sqrt y\).
- The given horizontal lines provide the integration limits.
Solution
1. The horizontal width is \(\sqrt y-0\).
2. Therefore, \(A=\int_0^4\sqrt y\,\mathrm{d}y=\frac{16}{3}\).
Answer
\(\frac{16}{3}\) square units
