Answer

$\displaystyle \frac{9}{2}$

Work Step by Step

Graphing the given equations, we find the intersections or we solve the equation $f(y)=g(y), $ where $ f(y)=y+2 \quad$ (the curve on the right side) and $g(y)=y^{2} \quad$ (the curve on the left). When $y\in[c,d]=[-1,2]$, the area between the graphs is $A=\displaystyle \int_{c}^{d} [f(y)-g(y)]dy=\displaystyle \int_{-1}^{2}[y+2-y^{2}]dy=$ $=\displaystyle \left[\frac{y^{2}}{2}+2y-\frac{y^{3}}{3}\right]_{-1}^{2}$ =$ \displaystyle \frac{(4-1)}{2}+2(2+1)-\frac{(8+1)}{3}$ $=\displaystyle \frac{9}{2}$
