I think the area you want is the integral from x=1 to x=2.
int%28%281-x%5E2%29%2Cdx%2C1%2C2%29=x-x%5E3%2F3%2BC
int%28%281-x%5E2%29%2Cdx%2C1%2C2%29=2-2%5E3%2F3-%281-1%5E3%2F3%29
int%28%281-x%5E2%29%2Cdx%2C1%2C2%29=2-1-8%2F3%2B1%2F3
int%28%281-x%5E2%29%2Cdx%2C1%2C2%29=1-7%2F3
int%28%281-x%5E2%29%2Cdx%2C1%2C2%29=-4%2F3
