Set up an integral to calculate the area of the region bounded by the graphs of f(x) = 3/2 x^2 - 2 and g(x) = 6 - 1/2 x^2. Do not evaluate the integral.

Step 1
Setting y = 2 equal to y = 6, we get 3x^2/2 - 2 = 6 - x^2/2. Solving this equation, we get 2x^2 = 8, which gives x^2 = 4. Therefore, x = ±2. Show more…

Use a graph to find approximate x-coordinates of the points of intersection of the given curves. Then find (approximately) the area of the region bounded by the curves. $ y = \arcsin \left(\frac{1}{2} x \right) $, $ y = 2 - x^2 $
