Correct answer: $8\SQRT{3}$

  1. Interpret the region

    The set is intended to represent the region bounded by the parabola y2=4x,y^2=4x,y2=4x, the vertical lines x=0x=0x=0 and x=3x=3x=3.

    So the region is {(x,y):y2≤4x,  0≤x≤3}.\{(x,y): y^2\le 4x,\; 0\le x\le 3\}.{(x,y):y2≤4x,0≤x≤3}.

  2. Find the vertical extent for a fixed xxx

    From y2≤4x,y^2\le 4x,y2≤4x, we get −2x≤y≤2x.-2\sqrt{x}\le y\le 2\sqrt{x}.−2x​≤y≤2x​.

    Hence, for each x∈[0,3]x\in[0,3]x∈[0,3], the vertical length of the strip is 2x−(−2x)=4x.2\sqrt{x}-(-2\sqrt{x})=4\sqrt{x}.2x​−(−2x​)=4x​.

  3. Set up the area integral

    Therefore, the required area is A=∫034x dx.A=\int_0^3 4\sqrt{x}\,dx.A=∫03​4x​dx.

  4. Evaluate the integral

    =4\left[\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2}\right]_0^3 =\frac{8}{3}\cdot 3^{3/2}.$$ Since $$3^{3/2}=3\sqrt{3},$$ we get $$A=\frac{8}{3}\cdot 3\sqrt{3}=8\sqrt{3}.$$
  5. Compare with the options

    The computed area is 83,\boxed{8\sqrt{3}},83​​, which is not among the given options 323,163,83,643\frac{32}{3}, \frac{16}{3}, \frac{8}{3}, \frac{64}{3}332​,316​,38​,364​.

  6. About the stored answer

    The stored correct answer is 323\frac{32}{3}332​, but that would correspond to a different parabola, for example if the equation were y2=16x,y^2=16x,y2=16x, then the area from x=0x=0x=0 to x=3x=3x=3 would be ∫038x dx=163,\int_0^3 8\sqrt{x}\,dx=16\sqrt{3},∫03​8x​dx=163​, still not 323\frac{32}{3}332​.

    If instead the intended curve were x=y24,0≤y≤4,x=\frac{y^2}{4},\quad 0\le y\le 4,x=4y2​,0≤y≤4, then the area could become 163\frac{16}{3}316​ or similar depending on bounds. So the printed question likely has a typo or formatting issue.

    For the region as written/interpreted, the correct area is 83.\boxed{8\sqrt{3}}.83​​.
