Step 1:
\The curve equations are
and
.
Graph the curves
and
.

Observe the graph:
\The intersection points are (- 2, 2) and (2, 2).
\Step 2 :
\The area between the curves is symmetrical about the y - axis.
\so lets find one side and double it.
\Thus, area of the region is
.
Observe the graph :
\Upper curve is
.
Lower curve is
.
Since We are only using the positive side of
, consider
.
The boundaries are
.

Area of the region enclosed by the given graphs is 6.67 sq-units.
\Solution:
\Area of the region enclosed by the given graphs is 6.67 sq-units.
