Question

Find the area of the entire region. Use ^ to indicate an exponent.

Answer 1

You are going to set this up as a normal area equation. Find the area of a and b then add them together, but the difference is that instead of having numbers you have equations. So it is going to look like this:

Area(a)+Area(b)=Area(total)
((2x-3)*x)+((4x+5)*2x)=A(total)
(2x^2-3x)+(8x^2+10x)=A(total)
10x^2+7x= total area
