Use a graph to find approximate x-coordinates of the points of intersection of the given curves. Then find (approximately) the area of the region bounded by the curves. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Question

y = 8x^2− 3x, y = x^3−8x+ 2

Answer 1

for some nice graphing, with scalable axes, go to

Type in your functions (up to 3 of them). (Type them in, if you copy and paste from the post, the minus sign is really a dash, which the web site does not interpret.)

Set the x range from -3 to 3
Set the y range from -1 to 9

Now you read off the approximate coordinates.

The area is just the integral between those two x-values of the top curve minus the bottom curve.

Answer 2

I got 2812.76 for the answer but it said that's wrong

Answer 3

never mind I figured it out. The correct answer is 498.76
