  1. A \(4.5\ \text{sq units}\)
  2. B \(13.5\ \text{sq units}\)
  3. C \(\dfrac{7}{6}\ \text{sq units}\)
  4. D \(2.5\ \text{sq units}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(4.5\ \text{sq units}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given curves are \(x = -y^2\) and \(y = x + 2\). To find the points of intersection, substitute \(x = y - 2\) into the equation of the parabola: \(y - 2 = -y^2\) \(y^2 + y - 2 = 0\) \((y + 2)(y - 1) = 0\) The points of intersection are at \(y = -2\) and \(y = 1\). The area…
