Step 1: Identify the two functions that bound the shaded region. From the graph, the upper function is f(x) = √x and the lower function is g(x) = x/3.
Step 2: Set up the integral to calculate the area of the shaded region. The area is given by the integral of the difference between the two functions, A = ∫[f(x) - g(x)] dx, over the interval x = 0 to x = 9.
Step 3: Substitute the functions into the integral. The integral becomes A = ∫[√x - (x/3)] dx, with limits of integration from x = 0 to x = 9.
Step 4: Break the integral into two parts for easier computation: A = ∫√x dx - ∫(x/3) dx, both evaluated from x = 0 to x = 9.
Step 5: Compute the antiderivatives of each term. For ∫√x dx, use the power rule to get (2/3)x^(3/2). For ∫(x/3) dx, factor out 1/3 and use the power rule to get (1/6)x^2. Evaluate these expressions at the limits x = 0 and x = 9 to find the area.
