Tomorrow is a test for Calc and usually my teacher holds these "study sessions" where we go in the evening to his class and we just do a bunch of problems to help us study. Tonight he couldn't do it, but we're still having a test.
Anyway, I have a bunch of even problems assigned and there are only odd answers in the back of the book. Anyway, ATOT has bailed me out in the past, I figured it's worth it to ask again 
Find the area between the two intersecting lines.
FIRST PROBLEM
x = y^2 + 1, x = y+3
I solved for y for both equations and got:
y = sqrt[x-1] , y = x-3
Setting both equations equal to each other, you find out that they intersect at x = 2 and 5.
Integral from 2 to 5 of [ sqrt[x-1] - (x-3) ]
Is that the correct integral? Cause if you graph both equations, you need the negative sqrt[x-1].
