Answer

$A = \int_0^1 {\left( {{3^x} - {2^x}} \right)} dx$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & {\text{Let }}y = {2^x}{\text{ and }}y = {3^x},{\text{ }}x = 1 \cr & {\text{Find the intersection points between }}y = {2^x}{\text{ and }}y = {3^x} \cr & y = y \cr & {2^x} = {3^x} \cr & {\text{Solving}} \cr & x = 0 \cr & {\text{The enclosed area is shown in the graph below}}{\text{.}} \cr & {3^x} \geqslant {2^x}{\text{ on the interval }}\left[ {0,1} \right] \cr & {\text{Therefore}} \cr & {\text{The area is given by}} \cr & A = \int_0^1 {\left( {{3^x} - {2^x}} \right)} dx \cr} $$
