Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a graph with a shaded region that appears to be bounded by two curves, and , and the task is to find the area of this region.
To calculate the area between these two curves over a given interval, we follow these steps:
-
Identify the points of intersection of the curves and by setting them equal to each other:
-
Simplify and solve the resulting equation:
This gives the solutions and .
