area=int y dx over limits
area=int(1/3 x^4 -4) dx
area= 1/15 x^5 -4x over limits
area=1/15-4-(-1/15+4)=2/15-8 reduce that. Area negative means below the x axis.
area= 7 13/15= 7.866

And here is a neat numerical integration applet to demonstrate it.
enter xo=-1, x1=1, 10 steps, function 1/3*x^4 + 4
