How do you find the area of a region using integrals with respect to x or y?

[yjk91]

Homework Statement

decide whether to integrate with respect to x or y. draw a typical approximating rectangle and label its height and width then find the aread of the region

X^2 = y, x-2y = 3

The Attempt at a Solution

i'm not sure how to find if the questions should be repsect to x or y
i tried doing it with respect to X I did it with integral with upper bound being 9 and lower 0 and i plugged in rad x + (x-3)/2 dx and got 45 -4 and the answer is 32/3
HELP

Did you draw a graph of the region? The graphs of the functions you gave don't intersect, so they don't determine a region, so you're going to have a tough time finding its area.

Have you posted the right equations?
