Find the area under the curve with equation y = 5x - 2x^2 - 2, bounded by the x-axis and the points at which the curve reach the x-axis.

First, we must find the two points at which the curve crosses the boundary. To do this, set y=0 and solve.0 = 5x - 2x² - 20 = (2x - 1)(-x+2)This gives that x = 0.5 and x = 2Next, we integrate with these boundsI²_0.5 (5x - 2x² - 2) dx = [2.5x² - 2/3 x³ - 2x]²_0.5 = ( 2.54 - 2/38 - 22 - 2.50.25 + 2/30.125 + 20.5 ) = 1.125
