The definite integral that represents the area of the region under the given curves is: [tex]\int\limits^3_{-3} {x^2-9} \, dx[/tex]
Given:
The points where the two intersect will be given by:
y₁ = y₂
=> x² + 2x + 3 = 2x + 12
=> x² + 3 = 12
=> x² = 9
=> x = ± 3
For x₁ = 3, y₁ = 2(3) + 12 = 18 => (x₁, y₁) = (3, 18)
For x₂ = -3, y₂ = 2(-3) + 12 = 6 => (x₂, y₂) = (-3, 6)
Now, for the area of the region under first curve [tex]y_1=x^2+2x+3[/tex]:
A₁ = [tex]\int\limits^3_{-3} {x^2+2x+12} \, dx[/tex]
For the area of the region under the second curve [tex]y_2=2x+12[/tex]:
A₂ = [tex]\int\limits^3_{-3} {2x+12} \, dx[/tex]
For the required area of the region bounded by the two curves will be given by:
A = A₂ - A₁ = [tex]\int\limits^3_{-3} {x^2+2x+3 - (2x +12)} \, dx[/tex]
A = [tex]\int\limits^3_{-3} {x^2-9} \, dx[/tex]
Refer to the image for the area so bounded by the curves.
Hence, The definite integral that represents the area of the region under the given curves is: [tex]\int\limits^3_{-3} {x^2-9} \, dx[/tex].
