Step 3

The area of the region between the curves is defined as the integral of the upper curve minus the integral of the lower curve over each region. The regions are determined by the intersection points of the curves. This can be done algebraically or graphically.

$A r e a = \int_{- 9}^{9} - x^{2} + 81 d x - \int_{- 9}^{9} 0 d x$

Step 4.1

Combine the integrals into a single integral.

$\int_{- 9}^{9} - x^{2} + 81 - (0) d x$

Step 4.2

Subtract $0$ from $- x^{2} + 81$ .

$\int_{- 9}^{9} - x^{2} + 81 d x$

Step 4.3

Split the single integral into multiple integrals.

$\int_{- 9}^{9} - x^{2} d x + \int_{- 9}^{9} 81 d x$

Step 4.4

Since $- 1$ is constant with respect to $x$ , move $- 1$ out of the integral.

$- \int_{- 9}^{9} x^{2} d x + \int_{- 9}^{9} 81 d x$

Step 4.5

By the Power Rule, the integral of $x^{2}$ with respect to $x$ is $\frac{1}{3} x^{3}$ .

$- (\frac{1}{3} x^{3}]_{- 9}^{9}) + \int_{- 9}^{9} 81 d x$

Step 4.6

Combine $\frac{1}{3}$ and $x^{3}$ .

$- (\frac{x^{3}}{3}]_{- 9}^{9}) + \int_{- 9}^{9} 81 d x$
