so i know that you startout by solving for the intersection points which is
x^2 - 2x = x + 4
x^2 - 2x - x + 4 = 0
(x - 4)(x + 1)=0
x = 4, -1
top= x + 4
bottom=x^2 +2x
then i solve ofr the area
A= ∫ (top - bottom) dx
A=∫ (x + 4 - x^2 +2x)dx
= ∫ (-x^2 + 3x + 4)dx
= -x^3/3 + 3x^2/2 + 4x
then i plug in b into F and a into F and subtract to get the area
the answer i get is 383/8 which is wrong.. so i dont really see what i'm doing wrong.
