Step 1 — set up the integral. y=4x3>0y=4x^{3}>0 for 1≤x≤21\le x\le 2, so

A=∫124x3 dxA=\int_{1}^{2} 4x^{3}\,dx

Step 2 — integrate.

∫4x3 dx=4⋅x44=x4\int 4x^{3}\,dx = 4\cdot\frac{x^{4}}{4}=x^{4}

Step 3 — apply the limits.

A=[x4]12=24−14=16−1=15A=\big[x^{4}\big]_{1}^{2} = 2^{4}-1^{4} = 16-1 = 15

✓Final answer

The area of the region is 1515 square units.
