Ah, apparently it's an equation of a semi-ellipse. Any idea as to how I can find its area? Either if a formula for it exists or if I must split it up into common geometric shapes and take their sum?

It seems like the equation of a circle, the only equation of a circle I've ever seen is y^2 + x^2 = 9 which has a radius of 3 and center of (0, 0). But I'm still not quite sure how to obtain the location of the center of the circle from the newly manipulated one you gave me. It seems as the y...

Really? This is the first time in my life I've seen a semicircle function. With that manipulation, what is the location of the centre? Thank you so much, I've been stumped on this one for about an hour.

Unfortunately, integration is not allowed. The question must be completed by interpreting the area under the function as a sum of areas (a semicircle and perhaps a rectangle) but I have no idea how to, using the given function, find the semi circle's radius to be able to find its area. Unless...

Homework Statement The problem requires the computation of an indefinite integral but says to "interpret as areas" which basically changes the question to the following; What is the area under the curve of the function y = root( 6 - 2x2 + 4x) from x = -1 to x = 3 Homework Equations...
