Please explain how to solve, thank you!

Transcribed Image Text:### Problem Statement
Find the area of the region bounded above by \( y = -x^2 + 4 \) and below by \( y = x - 2 \).
### Graph Explanation
The graph provided depicts the parabolic curve \( y = -x^2 + 4 \) and the straight line \( y = x - 2 \). These two equations intersect, forming a region that is shaded in the graph. The parabolic curve opens downwards with its vertex at the point (0,4) and the straight line intersects the y-axis at -2 and has a slope of 1.
### Calculations and Options
To find the area between the curves, we need to identify the x-coordinates of the points of intersection of \( y = -x^2 + 4 \) and \( y = x - 2 \) and integrate the difference of the functions over that interval.
### Answer Choices
- \( \frac{125}{6} \)
- \( \frac{375}{16} \)
- \( \frac{375}{13} \)
- 375
