Question:
Find the total area of the region between the curve and the x-axis.
{eq}y = (x + 4)\sqrt x; 1 \leq x \leq 9 {/eq}
a) 761
b) {eq}\frac{328}{3} {/eq}
c) 346
d) {eq}\frac{2492}{15} {/eq}
Area of the Region:
To compute the area of the region bounded by the curve and line we can use the vertical strip method with its formula {eq}\displaystyle A=\int_{a}^{b}ydx {/eq} where {eq}y {/eq} and {eq}dx {/eq} are the length and width of the rectangular strip.
Answer and Explanation:
Below is the graph,

The area of the region is,
{eq}\displaystyle A=\int_{1}^{9}ydx {/eq}
{eq}\displaystyle A=\int_{1}^{9}\left [ \left ( x+4 \right )\sqrt{x} \right ]dx {/eq}
Integrate,
{eq}\displaystyle A=\left [ \frac{2}{5}x^{\frac{5}{2}}+\frac{8}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}} \right ]^{9}_{1} {/eq}
{eq}A=\frac{46}{15} {/eq}
{eq}A=\:3.06667 {/eq}
