Area = ∫_1 ^( 2) [ x(√(x−1))−(−x(√(x−1)) ) ] dx  = 2∫_1 ^( 2) x (√(x−1)) dx   = 4∫_0 ^( 1) (μ^2 +1)μ^2  dμ ; where μ=(√(x−1))  = 4 [ (μ^5 /5) + (μ^3 /3) ]_0 ^1 = ((32)/(15))

$$\mathrm{Area}\:=\:\int_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\:\mathrm{2}} \left[\:\mathrm{x}\sqrt{\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{1}}−\left(−\mathrm{x}\sqrt{\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{1}}\:\right)\:\right]\:\mathrm{dx} \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{2}\int_{\mathrm{1}} ^{\:\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{x}\:\sqrt{\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{1}}\:\mathrm{dx}\: \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{4}\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\:\mathrm{1}} \left(\mu^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{1}\right)\mu^{\mathrm{2}} \:\mathrm{d}\mu\:;\:\mathrm{where}\:\mu=\sqrt{\mathrm{x}−\mathrm{1}} \\ $$$$=\:\mathrm{4}\:\left[\:\frac{\mu^{\mathrm{5}} }{\mathrm{5}}\:+\:\frac{\mu^{\mathrm{3}} }{\mathrm{3}}\:\right]_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\mathrm{1}} =\:\frac{\mathrm{32}}{\mathrm{15}} \\ $$
