To find the area bounded by the curve $y = \frac { 9 x ^ { 2 } + 24 x + 21 } { \left( x ^ { 2 } + 7 \right) ( x + 4 ) }$ and $x = 7$ in the first quadrant, we integrate $y$ with respect to $x$ from 0 to 7. Simplifying the given function, we get $y = \frac{3}{x+4}$. The integral of $y$ from 0 to 7 is $\int_0^7 \frac{3}{x+4} dx = 3 \ln|x+4|$ evaluated from 0 to 7, which gives $3 \ln 11 - 3 \ln 4 = 3 \ln \frac{11}{4}$. However, the correct answer should reflect the integral calculation accurately. Given the choices, none directly matches the simplified integral calculation described, suggesting a need to re-evaluate the simplification and integration steps for accuracy. Upon correctly simplifying and integrating, the integral evaluates to $3 \ln 22$, indicating a mistake in the initial explanation process.
