Answer

Area $=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}y^{3}dy$

Work Step by Step

Th. 4.5 The Definite lntegral as the Area of a Region If $f$ is continuous and nonnegative on the closed interval $[a, b]$, then the area of the region bounded by the graph of $f$, the x-axis, and the vertical lines $x=a$ and $x=b$ is Area $=\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b}f(x)dx$. (See Figure 4.22.) ---------------------- Here, x is a function of y. $x=f(y)$ (the function values are read off the x-axis) (see the "dummy variable" discussion under fig.4.24.) The variable of integration here is y, (on the y-axis,) for $y\in[a, b]$ = $[0,2]$ $f(y)=y^{3}$ is continuous and nonnegative on the closed interval, (just the setup:) Area $=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}y^{3}dy$
