The area of the region that is bounded by the line f(x) = -x - 1 and the curve g(x) = -x^2 + x + 2 over the interval [-2,0] can be found by calculating the definite integral of the absolute difference between the two functions over the given interval.
Added by Linda M.
Step 1
Step 1: First, we need to find the points of intersection between the line f(x) and the curve g(x) by setting them equal to each other and solving for x: -x - 1 = -x^2 + x + 2 0 = -x^2 + 2x + 3 0 = x^2 - 2x - 3 0 = (x-3)(x+1) x = 3 or x = -1 Show more…
