The area between the curve $y= \frac{1}{(2x-4)^2}$ and the $x$-axis, with $x$ running from $a=0$ to $b=1$, is exactly the definite integral of $\frac{1}{(2x-4)^2}$ with limits $0$ and $1$.

$$\begin{aligned} \text{Area}&=\int_0^1 \frac{\mathrm{d}x}{(2x-4)^2}&u=2x-4,\quad\mathrm{d}u=2\ \mathrm{d}x\\ &=\frac{1}{2}\int_{-4}^{-2}\frac{1}{u^2}\mathrm{d}u = \frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{-1}{u}\right]_{u=-4}^{u=-2}\\ &=\frac{1}{2}\Big[\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{4}\Big] =\frac{1}{8} \end{aligned}$$

If the curves $y=f(x)=x$ and $y=g(x)=3x-x^2$ intersect at $(x,y)$, then

$$\begin{aligned} 3x-x^2&=y=x\\ x^2-2x&=0\\ x(x-2)&=0\\ x=0 \quad &\text{or} \quad x=2 \end{aligned}$$

Furthermore, $g(x)-f(x) = 2x-x^2 = x(2-x)$ is positive for all $0\le x\le 2$. That is, the curve $y=3x-x^2$ lies above the line $y=x$ for all $0\le x\le 2$.

We therefore evaluate the integral:

$$\begin{aligned} \int_0^2 \big[ (3x-x^2) - x \big] \,\mathrm{d}x = \int_0^2 [2x-x^2]\,\mathrm{d}x = \bigg[x^2 - \frac{x^3}{3}\bigg]^{2}_{0} = \bigg[ 4-\frac{8}{3} \bigg] -0 = \frac{4}{3} \end{aligned}$$

For our computation, we will need an antiderivative of $x^2\sqrt{x^3+1}$, which can be found using the substitution $u=x^3+1$, $\mathrm{d}u = 3x^2\,\mathrm{d}x$:

$$\begin{aligned} \int x^2\sqrt{x^3+1} \, \mathrm{d}x = \int \sqrt u \cdot \frac13\,\mathrm{d}u = \frac13\int u^{1/2}\,\mathrm{d}u = \frac13\cdot \frac{u^{3/2}}{3/2}+C = \frac29(x^3+1)^{3/2} + C. \end{aligned}$$

The two functions $f(x)$ and $g(x)$ are clearly equal at $x=0$. If $x\ne0$, then the functions are equal when

$$\begin{aligned} 3x^2 &= x^2\sqrt{x^3+1} \\ 3 &= \sqrt{x^3+1} \\ 9 &= x^3+1 \\ 8 &= x^3 \\ 2 &= x. \end{aligned}$$

The function $g(x)=3x^2$ is the larger of the two on the interval $[0,2]$, as can be seen by plugging in $x=1$, say, or by observing that when $x$ is very small $f(x)=x^2\sqrt{x^3+1}\approx x^2$ and $g(x)=3x^2$.

The area in question is therefore:

$$\begin{aligned} \int_0^2 \big( 3x^2 - x^2\sqrt{x^3+1} \big) \, \mathrm{d}x &= \bigg( {x^3} - \frac29(x^3+1)^{3/2} \bigg) \bigg|_0^2 \\ &= \bigg( 2^3 - \frac2 9(2^3+1)^{3/2} \bigg) - \bigg( 0^3 - \frac29(0^3+1)^{3/2} \bigg) \\ &= \bigg( 8 - 6 \bigg) - \bigg( 0 - \frac 2 9 \bigg) =\frac{20}9. \end{aligned}$$

First, let's figure out what our curve $x=y^2+y=y(y+1)$ looks like.

• The curve intercepts the $y$-axis when $y=0$ and $y=-1$.
• The $x$-values of the curve are negative when $-1<y<0$, and positive elsewhere.

This leads to the figure below. We're evaluating the area from $y=-1$ to $y=0$. Since $y^2+y$ is negative there, the length of our (horizontal) slices are $0-(y^2+y)$.

$$\begin{aligned} \text{Area}=\int_{-1}^0\big(0-(y^2+y)\big)\,\mathrm{d}y = -\bigg[\frac{y^3}{3}+\frac{y^2}{2}\bigg]_{-1}^0 =-\frac13+\frac12 =\frac{1}{6}\quad \smash{  } \end{aligned}$$

Let's begin by sketching our region. Note that $y=\sqrt{1-x^2}$ and $y=\sqrt{9-x^2}$ are the top halves of circles centred at the origin with radii 1 and 3, respectively.

Our region is the difference of two quarter-circles, so we find its area using geometry: $$\text{Area}=\frac{1}{4}\left(\pi\cdot 3^2\right)-\frac{1}{4}\left(\pi\cdot 1^2\right)=2\pi$$

We will compute the area by using thin vertical strips, as in the sketch below:

By looking at the sketch above, we guess the line $y = 4 + 2\pi - 2x$ intersects the curve $y = 4 + \pi \sin x$ when $x=\frac{\pi}{2},$ $x=\pi$, and $x=\frac{3\pi}{2}$. Let's make sure these are correct by plugging them into the two equations, and making sure the $y$-values match:

$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|}\hline x & 4+2\pi-2x & 4+\pi\sin(x) & \text{match?} \\ \hline \frac{\pi}{2} & 4+\pi & 4+\pi & \text{\checkmark} \\ \hline \pi & 4 & 4 & \text{\checkmark} \\ \hline \frac{3\pi}{2} & 4-\pi & 4-\pi & \text{\checkmark} \\ \hline \end{array}$$

Also from the sketch, we see that:

• When $\frac{\pi}{2} \le x \le \pi$, the top of the strip is at $y = 4 + \pi \sin x$ and the bottom of the strip is at $y = 4 + 2\pi - 2x$. So the strip has height $\big[(4 + \pi \sin x)-(4 + 2\pi - 2x)\big]$ and width $\mathrm{d}x$, and hence area $\big[(4 + \pi \sin x)-(4 + 2\pi - 2x)\big]\mathrm{d}x$.
• When $\pi \le x \le \frac{3\pi}{2}$, the top of the strip is at $y = 4 + 2\pi - 2x$ and the bottom of the strip is at $y = 4 + \pi \sin x$. So the strip has height $\big[(4 + 2\pi - 2x)-(4 + \pi \sin x)\big]$ and width $\mathrm{d}x$, and hence area $\big[(4 + 2\pi - 2x)-(4 + \pi \sin x)\big]\mathrm{d}x$.

Now we can calculate:

$$\begin{aligned} \text{Area} &= \int_{\pi/2}^\pi \big[(4 + \pi \sin x)-(4 + 2\pi - 2x)\big]\ \mathrm{d}x +\int^{3\pi/2}_\pi \big[(4 + 2\pi - 2x)-(4 + \pi \sin x)\big]\ \mathrm{d}x\\ &= \int_{\pi/2}^\pi \big[\pi \sin x- 2\pi + 2x\big]\ \mathrm{d}x +\int^{3\pi/2}_\pi \big[2\pi - 2x- \pi \sin x\big]\ \mathrm{d}x\\ &=\Big[-\pi \cos x- 2\pi x + x^2\Big]_{\pi/2}^\pi +\Big[2\pi x - x^2+ \pi \cos x\Big]^{3\pi/2}_\pi\\ &=\left[\pi-\pi^2+\frac{3}{4}\pi^2\right] +\left[\pi^2-\frac{5}{4}\pi^2+\pi\right]\\ &=2\Big[\pi-\frac{1}{4}\pi^2\Big] \end{aligned}$$

First, here is a sketch of the region. We are not asked for it, but it is crucial for understanding the question.

The two curves $y=x+2$ and $y=x^2$ cross at $(2,4)$. The area of the part between them with $0\le x\le 2$ is:

$$\begin{aligned} \int_0^2 \big[x+2-x^2\big]\,\mathrm{d}x=\Big[\frac{1}{2} x^2+2x-\frac{1}{3}x^3\Big]_0^2 =2+4-\frac{8}{3}=\frac{10}{3} \end{aligned}$$

The area of the part between the two curves with $2\le x\le 3$ is:

$$\begin{aligned} \int_2^3 \big[x^2-(x+2)\big]\,\mathrm{d}x=\Big[\frac{1}{3}x^3-\frac{1}{2} x^2-2x\Big]_2^3 =9-\frac{9}{2}-6-\frac{8}{3}+2+4=\frac{11}{6} \end{aligned}$$

The total area is $\dfrac{10}{3}+\dfrac{11}{6}=\dfrac{31}{6}$.

We need to figure out which curve is on top, when. To do this, set $h(x) = 3x - x\sqrt{25-x^2}$. If $h(x) > 0$, then $y=3x$ is the top curve; if $h(x)<0$, then $y=x\sqrt{25-x^2}$ is the top curve.

$$\begin{aligned} h(x) &= 3x - x\sqrt{25-x^2} = x\left[3-\sqrt{25-x^2}\right] \\ \text{We only care about values of $x$ in $[0,4]$, so $x$ is nonnegative. Then $h(x)$ is positive when:} \\ 3&> \sqrt{25-x^2}\\ 9&> 25-x^2\\ x^2 & > 16\\ x&> 4 \end{aligned}$$

That is, $h(x)$ is never positive over the interval $[0,4]$. So, $y = x \sqrt{25-x^2}$ lies above $y=3x$ for all $0\le x\le 4$.

The area we need to calculate is therefore:

$$\begin{aligned} A &= \int_0^4 \left[x \sqrt{25-x^2} - 3x\right]\,\mathrm{d}x \\ &= \int_0^4 x \sqrt{25-x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x - \int_0^4 3x\,\mathrm{d}x \\&= A_1 - A_2. \end{aligned}$$

To evaluate $A_1$, we use the substitution $u(x) = 25-x^2$, for which $\mathrm{d}u = u'(x)\,\mathrm{d}x= -2x\,\mathrm{d}x$; and $u(4)=25-4^2=9$ when $x=4$, while $u(0)=25-0^2=25$ when $x=0$. Therefore

$$\begin{aligned} A_1 &= \int_{x=0}^{x=4} x \sqrt{25-x^2}\,\mathrm{d}x = -\frac{1}{2} \int_{u=25}^{u=9} \sqrt{u}\,\mathrm{d}u = \left[-\frac{1}{3} u^{3/2} \right]_{25}^{9} = \frac{125 - 27}{3} = \frac{98}{3} \end{aligned}$$

For $A_2$ we use the antiderivative directly:

$$A_2 = \int_0^4 3x\,\mathrm{d}x =\left[ \frac{3x^2}{2} \right]_0^4 = 24$$

Therefore the total area is:

$$\begin{aligned} A = \frac{98}{3} - 24 = \frac{26}{3} \end{aligned}$$

Let's begin by sketching our region. Note that $y=\sqrt{9-x^2}$ is the top half of a circle centred at the origin with radius 3, while $y=\sqrt{1-(x-1)^2}$ is the top half of a circle of radius 1 centred at $(1,0)$.

Note $y=x$ intersects $y=\sqrt{1-(x-1)^2}$ at $(1,1)$, the highest part of the smaller half-circle.

We can easily take the area of triangles and sectors of circles. With that in mind, we cut up our region the following way:

• The desired area is $A_3-(A_1+A_2)$.
• $A_1$ is the area of right a triangle with base 1 and height 1, so $A_1 = \frac{1}{2}$.
• $A_2$ is the area of a quarter circle of radius 1, so $A_2=\frac{\pi}{4}$.
• $A_3$ is the area of an eighth of a circle of radius 3, so $A_3 = \frac{9\pi}{8}$

So, the area of our region is $\dfrac{9\pi}{8} - \dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{\pi}{4}=\dfrac{7\pi}{8}-\dfrac{1}{2}$.

The first function is a cubic, with intercepts at $x=0,\pm2$. The second is a straight line with a positive slope.

We need to figure out what these functions look like in relation to one another, so let's find their points of intersection.

$$\begin{aligned} x(x^2-4)&=x-2\\ x(x+2)(x-2)&=x-2\\ \boxed{x-2=0} \quad\text{or}\quad x(x+2)&=1\\ x^2+2x-1&=0\\ x &= \dfrac{-2\pm\sqrt{4-4(1)(-1)}}{2}\\ x&=\boxed{-1\pm \sqrt{2}} \end{aligned}$$
