Answer

$0.0665$

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & y={{e}^{x}}\text{ and }y=-{{x}^{2}}-2x \\ & \text{Find the intersection points let }y=y \\ & {{e}^{x}}=-{{x}^{2}}-2x \\ & \text{Using a graphing calculator we obtain:} \\ & {{x}_{1}}=-1.9241,\text{ }{{x}_{2}}=-0.4164 \\ & -{{x}^{2}}-2x\ge {{e}^{x}}\text{ on the interval }\left( -1.9241,-0.4164 \right) \\ & \text{The area between the curves is:} \\ & A=\int_{-0.4164}^{-1.9241}{\left( -{{x}^{2}}-2x-{{e}^{x}} \right)}dx \\ & \text{Integrating} \\ & A=\left[ -\frac{{{x}^{3}}}{3}-{{x}^{2}}-{{e}^{x}} \right]_{-0.4164}^{-1.9241} \\ & A=\left[ -\frac{{{\left( -1.9241 \right)}^{3}}}{3}-{{\left( -1.9241 \right)}^{2}}-{{e}^{-1.9241}} \right]- \\ & \left[ -\frac{{{\left( -0.4164 \right)}^{3}}}{3}-{{\left( -0.4164 \right)}^{2}}-{{e}^{-0.4164}} \right] \\ & \text{Simplifying} \\ & A\approx 0.0665 \\ \end{align}\]
