Hey can someone tell me please for question iv why the area is 4 instead of -4 even though the Y-co ordinate is -2?

And can someone show me how to solve for x in this question:
2x^-1/2=3/2x^1/2

Well, you can't have negative area, can you? :h:

For the second part, why don't you try multiplying both sides by sqrt(x)?

2x=3x22=3x2\displaystyle \frac{2}{\sqrt{x}} = \frac{3\sqrt{x}}{2} \Rightarrow 2 = \frac{3x}{2} \Rightarrow \cdots
