3.
First, sketch the region.
When you slice up the area horizontally, the right end of each section is the curve x = y + 6, and the left
end of each section is always the curve x = y^2 . Now set up our integral.
(y + 6 − y^2 ) dy
Evaluating this gives us the area.
(y + 6 − y^2 ) dy =
Example 4: Find the area between the curve y = and the curve y = and the x-axis from x
= −3 to x = 3.
First, sketch the curves.
