Answer

$ \int_0^1 [(x-1)^3 - (x-1) ] dx + \int_1^2 [ (x-1) - (x-1)^3 ] dx $

Work Step by Step

Set up to find the area bounded by the two functions Because $y_2$ changes from the lower function to the upper function over two intervals, two integral need to be used. Set up the integration by using the form $\int (f(x) - g(x) )$ where f(x)>g(x), For the first interval, $y_1$ is the upper function and $y_2$ is lower, Then on the second interval $y_1$ changes to the lower and $y_2$ changes to the upper. $ \int_0^1 [(x-1)^3 - (x-1) ] dx + \int_1^2 [ (x-1) - (x-1)^3 ] dx $
