Answer

$$ S=\{(x, y) |-2 \lt x \leq 0, \quad 0 \leq y \leq 1 / \sqrt{x+2}\} $$ The shaded area is the region of interest. $$ \begin{aligned} \text { Area } &=\int_{-2}^{0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+2}} d x \\ &=2 \sqrt{2}. \end{aligned} $$

Work Step by Step

$$ S=\{(x, y) |-2 \lt x \leq 0, \quad 0 \leq y \leq 1 / \sqrt{x+2}\} $$ The shaded area is the region of interest. $$ \begin{aligned} \text { Area } &=\int_{-2}^{0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+2}} d x \\ &=\lim _{t \rightarrow-2^{+}} \int_{t}^{0} \frac{1}{\sqrt{x+2}} d x \\ &=\lim _{t \rightarrow-2^{+}}[2 \sqrt{x+2}]_{t}^{0} \\ &= \lim _{t \rightarrow-2^{+}}(2 \sqrt{2}-2 \sqrt{t+2})\\ &=2 \sqrt{2}. \end{aligned} $$
