Given a curve having an equation of y2=4x.
a) Compute the area bounded by the curve and the line y=4 and x=0.
b) How far is the centroid of the curve bounded by the line y=4 and x=0 from the x-axis.
c) What is the volume generated by this curve if it is revolved about the x-axis.

Given: - y2=4x
To Find: - Area bounded by the curve y=4,x=0

Area =x=ax=by=f1(x)y=f2(x)dy dx
042x()4dy dx=04(42x())dx
=[4x2x3232]{0}4=[4x4x323]{0}4
=(4(4)43432)(0)
=16323=163

b) To Find: - How For centroid of centroid
X-axis
i.e. we need to find y coordinute of centroid
y=1Areax=ax=b12((f(x)2)(g(x)2)dx
=11630412[42(2x())2]dx
=33204(164x)dx
=3×43204(4x)dx
=38[4xx22]=38(8)=3
Centroid of curve is 3 from x-axis

c) To Find: - Value generated by come f revolved about x-axis:
Volume of Solid revolved about the x-axis is given by
V=πx=ax=b[f(x)2][g(x)2]()dx
whose y=f(x) is upper come f y=g(x) lower curve.
V=π04[42x22]dx=π04(164x)dx=4π04(4x)dx=4π[4xx22]04=4π[16162]=4π(8)=32π
