Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{5}{6}$

Work Step by Step

On the interval $x\in[0,1]$, the graph of $y= x^{2}$ is above the graph of $y=0$ On the interval $x\in[1,2]$, the graph of $y= -x+2$ is above the graph of $y=0$ The area between two graphs over [a,b], where one graph is above the other, is given with $\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b}(y_{above}-y_{below})dt$. Thus, $A=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}[x^{2}-0]dx+\int_{1}^{2}(-x+2-0]dx=$ $=\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}x^{2}dx-\int_{1}^{2}xdx+\int_{1}^{2}2dx$ $=[\displaystyle \frac{x^{3}}{3}]_{0}^{1}-[\frac{x^{2}}{2}]_{1}^{2}+2[x]_{1}^{2}$ $=(\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}-0)-\frac{2^{2}-1}{2}+2(2-1)$ $=\displaystyle \frac{1}{3}-\frac{3}{2}+2$ $=\displaystyle \frac{2-9+12}{6}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{5}{6}$
