The area between `x=y^2`and `x = 4`is divided into two equal parts by the line`x = a`, find the value of a.

Answer» area of first portion=area of second portion
`int_0^a(2sqrtx)(dx)=int_a^4(2sqrtx dx`
`2(x^(3/2)/(3/2))_0^a=2(x^(3/2)/(3/2))_a^4`
`a^(3/2)=4^(3/2)-a^(3/2)`
`2a^(3/2)=2^(2*(2/3))`
`a=4^(2/3)`
