\"\"

\

The area of a region bounded by a parabola and a horizontal line is \"\".

\

Where \"\" represents base of the region along the horizantal line.

\

           \"\" represents height of the region.

\

\"\" represents the parabola.

\

\"\" represents the horizantal line.

\

The points are \"\" and \"\".

\

\"\".

\

Now the base \"\" of the parabola lies on the \"\" axis which calculated by solving  \"\".

\

The function \"\" has zeros at \"\" and \"\".

\

Therefore \"\" and \"\" are the factors of \"\".

\

Since the graph has one turning point and it is a parabola \"\" is a quadratic.

\

\"\"

\

The function can be written as \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Check the points \"\" and \"\" by subustituting the values in the obtained equation.

\

\"\".

\

Check for values  \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Check for values  \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Therefore \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

The function is in the form of \"\".

\

Where \"\"

\

The vertex is of \"\" is located at the point with the \"\" coordinate, \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Subustiute \"\" in \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\"

\

The vertex of \"\" is at \"\".

\

The distance from the vertex to the horizontal line is the height of the region.

\

Therefore height \"\" is

\

\"\"

\

Therefore base \"\" is \"\".

\

Height \"\" is \"\".

\

Subustiute these values in the area of the parabola \"\".

\

\"\"

\

Therefore area bounded by \"\" and \"\" is \"\" sq.units

\

\"\"

\

Area bounded by \"\" and \"\" is \"\" sq.units.
