For (1) the shaded region lies below the graph of y= x^3+ x^2- 6x and above the graph of y= 6x for x between -4 and 0. Its area is given by
\int_{-4}^0 [(x^3+ x^2- 6x)- 6x]dx

For (2) the shaded region lies below the graph of y= -x^4 and above the graph of y= x^4- 32. Those cross where y= -x^4= x^4- 32 or 2x^4= 32 so that x^4= 16: x= -2 and x= 2. Its area is given by
\int_{-2}^2 [-x^4- (x^4- 32)]dx

Fixed the LaTeX in the first paragraph, some of which wasn't displaying.

Thanks, Mark. I had left out a "/" !
 
That should be more than enough "hints" for the OP to solve the homework problems.

Thread locked, thread moved from "Calculus & Analysis" to Homework & Coursework Questions area.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
