Question

Find the area between the graph of y=x^2-2 and the x-axis, between x=0 and x=6.

Answer 1

\[\int\limits_{0}^{6}x^2-2\]

Answer 2

I need to find the area above and below the x axis though and i'm not sure how to do that

Answer 3

Do you know what the graph looks like?

Answer 4

it's a parabola

Answer 5

\[\int\limits_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}(x^2-2)dx+\int\limits_{\sqrt{2}}^{6}(x^2-2)dx\]
