009B Sample Final 2, Problem 2

Find the area of the region between the two curves  $y=3x-x^{2}$  and  $y=2x^{3}-x^{2}-5x.$

Foundations:
1. You can find the intersection points of two functions, say  $f(x),g(x),$
by setting  $f(x)=g(x)$  and solving for  $x.$
2. The area between two functions,  $f(x)$  and  $g(x),$  is given by  $\int _{a}^{b}f(x)-g(x)~dx$
for  $a\leq x\leq b,$  where  $f(x)$  is the upper function and  $g(x)$  is the lower function.
