By symmetry about the x-axis, Area =2∫055x dx=10[23x3/2]05=203⋅55=10053=2\displaystyle\int_0^5 5\sqrt{x}\,dx=10\Big[\tfrac23 x^{3/2}\Big]_0^5=\dfrac{20}{3}\cdot5\sqrt5=\dfrac{100\sqrt5}{3} sq. units.

Step 1 — set up. From y2=25xy^2=25x we get y=5xy=5\sqrt{x} (upper branch). The region is bounded by the parabola and the vertical line x=5x=5, running from x=0x=0 (the vertex) to x=5x=5. The parabola is symmetric about the x-axis, so

Area=2∫05y dx=2∫055x dx.\text{Area}=2\int_0^5 y\,dx=2\int_0^5 5\sqrt{x}\,dx.

Step 2 — integrate. …
