Area under a curve using definite integration bounded by curves:

Area = 2 ∫ₐ^b f(x) dx
Core Logic

Since both bounding graphs are symmetric about the y-axis, we can integrate over the positive domain (x ≥ 0) and double the result:

Intersecting points: x² + 1 = 2x + 1 x = 2.

Step 1: Setting Up the Bound Segments

The region splits into two integral segments based on which curve sits lower: Segment 1: From 0 to 2, bounded by the parabola y = x² + 1. Segment 2: From 2 to 3, bounded by the straight line y = 2x + 1.

Step 2: Performing Integration
$Area = 2 [ ∫₀² (x² + 1) dx + ∫₂³ (2x + 1) dx ]= 2 [ ( (8)/(3) + 2 ) + (9 + 3 - 4 - 2) ] = 2 [ (14)/(3) + 6 ] = (64)/(3)$
Pattern Recognition

Exploiting structural symmetry drops the integration limits, avoiding messy sign evaluations with absolute terms.

Step 1: Case I (y > 0)

If y > 0, the inequality reduces to (x(x-1)(x-2))/((x-3)(x-4)) > 0. Using wavy curve method and given x in (0, 4): x in (0, 1) (2, 3).

Step 2: Case II (y < 0)

If y < 0, the inequality reduces to (x(x-1)(x-2))/((x-3)(x-4)) < 0. Using wavy curve method and given x in (0, 4): x in (1, 2) (3, 4).

Step 3: Area Computation

Because the regions map perfectly without overlap in opposite quadrants relative to the x-axis, they form complete parabolic strips when combined: Area = 2 ∫₀⁴ √(x) dx = 2 · (2)/(3)[x3/2]₀⁴ = (4)/(3) · 8 = (32)/(3).
