The area of the parabola was 18 without doubt.

I used an orthodox method to try and calculate the shaded area, would of got it if not for a stupid error, but the shaded area was 27.

u didnt need to estimate the area of the triangle.. u no the base length using 2 points, and u no the equation of the tangent, so u can work out the perpendicular height and then find the area using A=1/2 x b x h

Sweet I got 45-18 = 27 too...w00t... it's just fucked how completely gay questions are worth so many marks and decent questions like that are worth barely any.

Heah I got 12 too. But I couldn't figure out how to get the area for the last bit. Thought I'd fing the area of a triangle, using didtance formula, and tan0=m for 1/2absinC

Ohh Boyy!
