Find the area bounded xy^2 = 4a^2 (2a−x) and its asymptotes.

$$\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{area}\:\mathrm{bounded}\:\mathrm{xy}^{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\mathrm{4a}^{\mathrm{2}} \left(\mathrm{2a}−\mathrm{x}\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{and}\:\mathrm{its}\:\mathrm{asymptotes}. \\ $$

equating to zero the coefficient of highest power of y in the equation of the curve we get x=0 i.e the y−axis as the asymptote of the curve parallel to y−axis . Hence the required area = 2∫_0 ^( 2a) y dx = 2∫_0 ^( 2a) ((2a(√(2a−x)))/( (√x))) dx let x = 2a sin^2 ∅ ; dx = 4a sin ∅ cos ∅ d∅ we get the area = 4a ∫_0 ^( π/2) (((√(2a)) cos ∅ .4a sin ∅ cos ∅ d∅)/( (√(2a)) sin ∅)) = 16a^2 ∫_0 ^( π/2) cos^2 ∅ d∅ = 16a^2 .(1/2).(1/2)π = 4πa^2
