Since y$y$ is real, y² = 1 y = ± 1$y^2 = 1 \implies y = \pm 1$.
When y = ± 1$y = \pm 1$, x = (1)/(2)$x = \frac{1}{2}$.
Intersection points are ((1)/(2), 1)$\left(\frac{1}{2}, 1\right)$ and ((1)/(2), -1)$\left(\frac{1}{2}, -1\right)$.
Step 1: Set up and Compute Area Integral
Between y = -1$y = -1$ and y = 1$y = 1$, (1)/(1+y²) ≥ (y²)/(2)$\frac{1}{1+y^2} \ge \frac{y^2}{2}$.
Whenever curves are functions of y²$y^2$, integrating along the y$y$-axis avoids dealing with messy radical functions (square roots) and naturally accounts for symmetry across the x$x$-axis.

Given y² ≤ 4x$y^2 \le 4x$ and x < 4$x < 4$.
Analyze the inequality (xy(x-1)(x-2))/((x-3)(x-4)) > 0$\frac{xy(x-1)(x-2)}{(x-3)(x-4)} > 0$ considering y > 0$y > 0$ and y < 0$y < 0$ separately.

Step 1: Case I (y > 0)
If y > 0$y > 0$, the inequality reduces to (x(x-1)(x-2))/((x-3)(x-4)) > 0$\frac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{(x-3)(x-4)} > 0$.
Using wavy curve method and given x in (0, 4)$x \in (0, 4)$:
x in (0, 1) (2, 3)$x \in (0, 1) \cup (2, 3)$.
Step 2: Case II (y < 0)
If y < 0$y < 0$, the inequality reduces to (x(x-1)(x-2))/((x-3)(x-4)) < 0$\frac{x(x-1)(x-2)}{(x-3)(x-4)} < 0$.
Using wavy curve method and given x in (0, 4)$x \in (0, 4)$:
x in (1, 2) (3, 4)$x \in (1, 2) \cup (3, 4)$.
Step 3: Area Computation
Because the regions map perfectly without overlap in opposite quadrants relative to the x-axis, they form complete parabolic strips when combined:
Area = 2 ∫₀⁴ √(x) dx = 2 · (2)/(3)[x3/2]₀⁴ = (4)/(3) · 8 = (32)/(3)$= 2 \int_{0}^{4} \sqrt{x} dx = 2 \cdot \frac{2}{3}[x^{3/2}]_{0}^{4} = \frac{4}{3} \cdot 8 = \frac{32}{3}$.
