Answer 2

the link above describes how to find the area

Answer 3

pretty much all you will do is do the integral of the top curve - the lower curve

Answer 4

drawing out the equations will help unless you know which one is on top of the other, You'll also need to see where they intersect, for that will be your intervals for integration.

Answer 5

So we use the y-coordinate of intersection for the upper and lower limits of integration?

Answer 6

I figured it out. You use the x-coordinates of the intersecing coordinates. Thank You!
