Use the definite integral to find the area between the​ x-axis and​ f(x) over the indicated interval. Check first to see if the graph crosses the​ x-axis in the given interval.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "​f(x)=36-x^2​;​[​-1,​12]
\n" ); document.write( "\=======================
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 = 36 ---> x-intercepts at -6 and +6
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Int(36 - x^2) = g(x) = 36x - x^3/3 + C
\n" ); document.write( "Area from -1 to +6 = g(6) - g(-1)
\n" ); document.write( "Area = 216 - (-36 + 1/3) = 179 2/3 sq units
\n" ); document.write( "=================
\n" ); document.write( "Area from 6 to 12:
\n" ); document.write( "Area = g(12) - g(6) = 288 sq units ------> you can do the calculations.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "The area from 6 to 12 is below the x-axis, sometimes viewed as negative.
\n" ); document.write( "Subtracting would give a negative area, so add them.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
