You don’t have the endpoints this time, so you need to find where the two curves intersect. If you set them


equal to each other, they intersect at y = 0 and at y = 5. The curve x = y^2 − 4y is always to the left of x = y
over the interval we just found, so we can evaluate the following integral:


    [y  −   (y^2    −   4y)]    dy  =       (5y −   y^2 )   dy

The result of the integration should be


PROBLEM 4. Find the area between the curve x = y^3 − y and the line x = 0 (the y-axis).


Answer: First, sketch the graph over the interval.
