Hello all,
I am currently stuck on the following problem:
The diagram shows two regions whose areas are A1 and A2. The region whose area is A1 is bounded by the curve y = (x/a)2, x=a and the x-axis. The region whose area is A2 is bounded by the curve y = (a/x)2, x = a, x = b, and the x-axis. If A2 = 2A1 and a is not equal to 0, find the ratio of a:b

Where to even begin?
Thanks :)

A1 = \(\displaystyle \displaystyle{\int_0^a \left (\dfrac{x}{a}\right )^2 dx}\)

A2 = ??
