Question
Find the area of the shaded region

Transcribed Image Text:The image shows a graph with two curves plotted on a Cartesian plane. The curves represent the functions \( y = x^3 - 15x \) and \( y = x \).
### Graph Description:
1. **Function \( y = x^3 - 15x \):**
- This is a cubic function displayed in blue.
- It exhibits typical cubic behavior, with an S-like shape crossing the x-axis multiple times.
- The curve is shaded in blue below it to highlight the area under the curve.
2. **Function \( y = x \):**
- This is a linear function represented by a red line.
- It passes through the origin and rises diagonally, intersecting the cubic curve.
3. **Intersection Points:**
- The red line intersects the blue curve at two points:
- \((-4, -4)\): This point is on the left side where the cubic function crosses the line.
- \((4, 4)\): This point is on the right side, another intersection of the functions.
4. **Axes:**
- The x-axis ranges from \(-6\) to \(6\).
- The y-axis ranges from \(-20\) to \(20\).
### Observations:
- The cubic function has two turning points, creating a local maximum and minimum.
- The intersection points provide solutions to the equation \( x^3 - 15x = x \).
This visualization is helpful for understanding the behavior and intersections of cubic and linear functions on a graph.
