Step 1 :The area between two curves is given by the integral of the absolute difference between the two functions. In this case, the two functions are \(y = 9x\) and \(y = x^2 - 10\).
Step 2 :We need to find the points of intersection of these two curves to determine the limits of integration. The points of intersection are at x = -1 and x = 10. However, we are only interested in the region between x = -2 and x = 2.
Step 3 :Therefore, we need to set up two integrals: one from -2 to -1 and another from -1 to 2. In the first integral, \(y = 9x\) is above \(y = x^2 - 10\), and in the second integral, \(y = x^2 - 10\) is above \(y = 9x\).
Step 4 :The area between the curves is given by the sum of the two integrals.
Step 5 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{\int_{-2}^{-1} |9x - (x^2 - 10)| dx + \int_{-1}^{2} |(x^2 - 10) - 9x| dx}\)
