area between y=x^2 -2x -3 and y =3x-3

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

Try graphing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i did but i don't know how to calculate it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Take the definite integral of one and subtract out the definite integral of the other.

HINT: Area under curve, Integration.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

We integrate using the limits.

Nathan is your Mr Analysis, he might help you :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL the i like the sarcasm fool for math

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey vitus, long time :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Set the equations equal to learn where they intersect and which is above the other, then take the definite integral of the lower function subtracted from the higher function, between the limits that you found.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean do you have have to split it some how and then integrate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Graphing is a good quick way to learn the limits of integration and which equation is larger.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fine the points of interception, those will be your bounds of integration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats how the graph looks like, how do i account for the are under the graph
