To calculate the area between a curve and the \(x\)-axis we must evaluate using definite integrals. First, we need to find out where the curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. Remember, a curve cuts the \(x ...

Watch this video to learn about calculating the area above and below the x-axis. Calculate the total area of the curve \(y = {x^3}\) and the \(x\)-axis between \(x = 2\) and \(x = - 2\).
