As given by the question

There are given that the function:


f(x)=x^3-6x

Now,

According to the answer to question #1 and the graph of the function:

It is the area under the curve from x = 0 and x = 3;

So,

Some of it is below the x-axis means negative area and some of it is above the x-axis which means positive area.

Then,

Yes, they will cancel out and the integral gives the exact net result.

Explained!
