Geometric meaning?
Hmm, I guess maybe they want you to explain it i terms of area.
Recall that the integral represents the area under the curve, right?

Answer 8

yes I understand that ;)

Answer 9

Answer 10

So for our problem,
we have some `negative area`, the red here. (because it's below the x-axis.
and some positive area in blue.
