Step 1:

The equations are .

To find the point of intersection, equate the above equations .

Substitute in .

Substitute in .

Then the points of intersection are .

Step 2:

Graph :

(1) Draw the coordinate plane.

(2) Plot the two equations.

(3) Plot the intersection points .

 From the graph, image moves from x = 1 to x = 4 and image moves from x = 4 to x = 1.

Step 3:

Find the area of the region.

Using line integral, the area of the region is .

image

image, and it moves from x = 4 to x = 1.

image, and it moves from x = 1 to x = 4.

image

Solution :

The area of the region is image.
