Farmer Jones and his wife, Dr. Jones, decide to build a fence in their field to keep the sheep safe. Since Dr. Jones is a mathematician, she suggests building fences described by y = 10x² and y = x² + 6. Farmer Jones thinks this would be much harder than just building an enclosure with straight sides, but he wants to please his wife. What is the exact value of the area of the enclosed region?
