1. Find the area between the curves y=4xe^-x^2, y=abs(x)


2. intersection points are 0 and sqrt(-ln(1/4))



3. help!

Well what is the area under

y=4xe-x2 between x=0 and x=√(-ln(0.25)) ?

Then find the area under the graph of y=|x| from x=0 to x=√(-ln(0.25)).

No what do you think you should do?
 
I actually figured it out shortly after posting this. I was making some really dumb mistakes! But thank you for replying so quickly. I'm sure I'll be back soon needing some more help :)
