The figure shows the arch of the parabola above the -axis, between and , and a straight line through the origin, with . The line meets the parabola again at a point , and it cuts the region under the arch into two parts: an upper part, between the arch and the line, and a lower part, between the line, the arch beyond and the -axis. Find the area of the upper part in terms of first. For which value of do the two parts have equal areas?
