edit: im a tard. nothing to see here...move along.

basically, if you integrate both functions, you come up with 4/3 and -4, and if you add them together, you get -8/3. is that the answer?

i cant figure out which function to use for the top and bottom limit. either way, you dont get -8/3, you get + or - (depending which function you put on the upper and lower bound of the first integral) 16/3.

what gives?
