Problem

The region is bounded by the parabola x=y2x=y^{2}, the vertical line x=9x=9, and the xx-axis. Which one of the following single integrals correctly represents its area without the need to split the interval? (a) ∫09x dx\displaystyle \int_{0}^{9} \sqrt{x}\,dx (b) ∫03y2 dy\displaystyle \int_{0}^{3} y^{2}\,dy (c) ∫03[9−y2] dy\displaystyle \int_{0}^{3}[9-y^{2}]\,dy (d) ∫03(y2−9) dy\displaystyle \int_{0}^{3}(y^{2}-9)\,dy
