Fig. 1: A parabola y = x squared - 11, in blue, with its lowest point at height -11, and a horizontal orange line y = -2. They cross at the red dots (-3, -2) and (3, -2). The region between them, which lies entirely below the x-axis, is shaded.

← The figure shows the curves y = x² and y = x³ for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1. They meet at the origin and at (1, 1). What is the area of the shaded region between them?
The figure shows y = eˣ and y = e⁻ˣ from x = 0 to the dashed line x = 1. The curves start together at (0, 1). What is the area of the shaded region, to two decimal places? →
