Oh, so the it should look like "∫((√2x+6) - (x-1))dx to take the line into account?
Not sure what you mean by doing it vertically, but from the way you say it, it sounds easier than doing it the horizontal way! lol
Homework Statement
Find the area enclosed by the line y = x-1 and the parabola y^2 = 2x+6
Homework Equations I don't think there are any special formulas or anything
The Attempt at a Solution
Well, I graphed the two given equations as √2x+6 and x-1 and got intersects at...
