4. Press y [CALC] 5 to select 5:Intersect. The graph is
displayed. Select a first curve, second curve, and guess for
the intersection toward the left side of the display. The
solution is displayed, and the value of
X at the intersection,
which is the lower limit of the integral, is stored in
Ans and
X.

7 and use Shade( to see the area graphically.
Shade(Y2,Y1,Ans,75)
6. Press y [QUIT] to return to the home screen. Enter the
expression to evaluate the integral for the shaded region.
