Concept:

Area under a Curve by Integration: Find the area under this curve is by summing vertically.

In this case, we find the area is the sum of the rectangles, heights x = f(y), and width dy.

If we are given y= f(x), then we need to re-express this as x=f(y) and we need to sum from bottom to top.

Calculation:

Given curve is x2 = 4y

∴ x = 2√y

Here required shaded area of the region lying in the first quadrant bounded by parabola x2 = 4y, and the horizontal lines y = 2 and y = 4.
