Find the area between the functions y = -x - 1 and y = x^3 + 1 from x = -1 to x = 1.
Added by Nicholas G.
Step 1
To find the points of intersection, set the two functions equal to each other: -x - 1 = x^3 + 1 Rearrange the equation: x^3 + x + 2 = 0 This equation does not have simple integer solutions, so we can use numerical methods or a graphing calculator to find the Show more…
