Final Answer: \(\boxed{2}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The area under the curve of a function between two points can be found by integrating the function from the lower limit to the upper limit. In this case, we need to integrate the function \(y=\frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\) from \(x=1\) to \(x=4\).

Step 2 :The result of the integration is 2. This is the exact area under the curve between \(x=1\) and \(x=4\).

Step 3 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{2}\)
