Find the area of the region bounded by the curves y2 = x, y – 4 = x, y = –2, and y = 1. So far I have found that the area as colored in black which is 13.5 but I cannot find the area of the areas that I marked in question marks. [IMG]http://i57.tinypic.com/2vhy6gn.png[/IMG]

Im a german scientist that lives in arizona

Sorry my sister dared me to do that xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Red graph equation is: y^2=x Blue graph equation is: y-4 = x Green Equation is: y=-2 Purple equation is: y=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I divided the two into two: hence the yellow line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how to solve this? What do you need help with?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I solved a part of it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you don't know how to solve the other half?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In my picture, I need to find the area of the parts that I put question marks into

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The two question marks symbolize the area in those parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The part that is colored in black - I already figured out the area to - 13.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What grade are you in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area can be found out by taking the integral of the larger equation and subtracting the smaller equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

between the intersection points

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So... anyone know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Figured it out 33/2
