Since x is a function of y now, the ouput form 1 to 4 of (y-1)(y-4) would be negative or equal to zero

#

Therefore the integral would be negative

#

How do you solve it though

verbal pasture
#

Just multiply it out

#

And then integrate

#

which will be $$\frac{1}{3}y^3-\frac{5}{2}y^2+5y$$

Plug 4 and 1 in and then subtract them

#

Result is $$-\frac{3}{2}$$
