The double inequality means that we look for the area of the region which is bounded above in the y-direction by the straight line \displaystyle y=x+2 and from below by the parabola \displaystyle y=x^2.
If we sketch the line and the parabola, the region is given by the region shaded in the figure below.
As soon as we have determined the x-coordinates of the points of intersection, \displaystyle x=a and \displaystyle x=b, between the line and the parabola, we can calculate the area as the integral of the difference between the curves' y-values,
\displaystyle \text{Area} = \int\limits_a^b \bigl(x+2-x^2\bigr)\,dx\,\textrm{.} |
The curves' points of intersection are those points which lie on both curves, i.e. which satisfy both curves' equations
\displaystyle \left\{\begin{align}
y &= x+2\,,\\[5pt] y &= x^2\,\textrm{.} \end{align} \right. |
By eliminating \displaystyle y, we obtain an equation for \displaystyle x,
\displaystyle x^{2}=x+2\,\textrm{.} |
If we move all x-terms to the left-hand side,
\displaystyle x^2-x=2\,, |
and complete the square, we obtain
\displaystyle \begin{align}
\Bigl(x-\frac{1}{2}\Bigr)^2 - \Bigl(\frac{1}{2}\Bigr)^2 &= 2\\[5pt] \Bigl(x-\frac{1}{2}\Bigr)^2 &= \frac{9}{4}\,\textrm{.} \end{align} |
Taking the root then gives that \displaystyle x=\tfrac{1}{2}\pm \tfrac{3}{2}. In other words, \displaystyle x=-1 and \displaystyle x=2\,.
The area of the region is now given by
\displaystyle \begin{align}
\text{Area} &= \int\limits_{-1}^2 \bigl(x+2-x^2\bigr)\,dx\\[5pt] &= \Bigl[\ \frac{x^2}{2} + 2x - \frac{x^3}{3}\ \Bigr]_{-1}^2\\[5pt] &= \frac{2^2}{2} + 2\cdot 2 - \frac{2^3}{3} - \Bigl( \frac{(-1)^2}{2} + 2\cdot (-1) - \frac{(-1)^3}{3}\Bigr)\\[5pt] &= 2 + 4 - \frac{8}{3} - \frac{1}{2} + 2 - \frac{1}{3}\\[5pt] &= \frac{9}{2}\,\textrm{.} \end{align} |
