**Title: Solving for the Area Enclosed by Two Curves**

**Objective:**
Learn how to find the area enclosed by two curves through intersection points and integration.

**Problem Statement:**
Sketch the region enclosed by the curves \( y = 6 - x^2 \) and \( y = x^2 - 1 \).

**Instructions:**
1. **Find Intersection Points:**
   List the points of intersection of these curves from LEFT to RIGHT in the form \((x, y)\):
   
   \[
   \left( \ \ \ , \ \ \ \right) \ \text{and} \ \left( \ \ \ , \ \ \ \right)
   \]
   
   (Note: You need to solve the equations \( 6 - x^2 = x^2 - 1 \) to find the intersection points.)

2. **Determine Integration Boundaries:**
   Decide whether to integrate with respect to \( x \) or \( y \) to find the area \( A \) of this region.

   \[
   A = \ \text{[Fill in the appropriate integral expression to solve for the area]}
   \]

**Step-by-Step Solution:**
1. **Sketching the Curves:**
   To sketch the curves, plot the equations \( y = 6 - x^2 \) and \( y = x^2 - 1 \). These represent a downward-opening parabola and an upward-opening parabola, respectively.

2. **Finding Intersection Points:**
   - Set the equations equal to each other to find the points of intersection:
   \[
   6 - x^2 = x^2 - 1
   \]
   - Solve for \( x \):
   \[
   6 + 1 = 2x^2 
   \]
   \[
   7 = 2x^2 
   \]
   \[
   x^2 = \frac{7}{2} 
   \]
   \[
   x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{7}{2}}
   \]

   - Substitute \( x \)-values back to find \( y \)-values, yielding the points of intersection \((x, y)\).

3. **Integrate to Find Area:**
   - Determine the top and bottom curves from the intersections.
   - Integrate the difference between the top and bottom functions with respect
