1.47 Let us first find the area OMP which is half of the required area OPP′.Forthe
upper branch of the curve,y=x^3 /^2 , and summing up all the strips between
the limitsx=0 andx=4, we get
Area OMP=

5.
Hence area OPP′= 2 x^645 = 25 .6 units.
Note: for the lower branchy=x^3 /^2 and the area will be− 64 /5. The area
will be negative simply because for the lower branch they-coordinates are
negative. The result for the area OPP′pertains to total area regardless of sign.
