The area under the curve in that interval is 8/3 square units.

Let's find the area:

This is actually really simple to do, we just need to integrate the equation:

y = x²

In the range [0, 2]

Because the integral is defined as the area under the curve.

Remember that the integral of the parent quadratic function is:

y = x³/3

Between the range [0, 2] we get the area:

A = [2³/3 - 0²/3]

A = 8/3
