Graph the function f ( x)   12 x 2  2 x  4 and find the value of
5 f ( x)dx . Using one color, shade the
region for which this value represents the area.

Graph the function g ( x)  1 x  4 on the same grid above and then find the value of
2 5g ( x)dx . Using a
different color, shade the region for which this value represents the area.

What do you suppose you would do to find the area of the region that is located in between the graphs of
f(x) and g(x)? Find this value.
