Final answer:

To find the area of the region bounded by the curves y = 3x^2 and y = 2x^2 + 1, we integrate the difference between the two equations with respect to x and evaluate the integral between the points of intersection (-1 and 1). The area is 2/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the region bounded by the curves y = 3x^2 and y = 2x^2 + 1, we need to find the points of intersection first. Set the two equations equal to each other:

3x^2 = 2x^2 + 1

x^2 = 1

x = ±1

Now, we integrate the difference between the two equations with respect to x from -1 to 1:

Area = ∫((2x^2 + 1) - (3x^2)) dx

Area = ∫(-x^2 + 1) dx

Area = (-1/3)x^3 + x

Plugging in the bounds, we get:

Area = (-1/3)(1)^3 + (1) - [(-1/3)(-1)^3 + (-1)]

Area = -1/3 + 1 + 1/3 - 1

Area = 2/3
