Answer:
- A = (0, 1)
- B = (3, -2)
- area = 4.5 square units
Explanation:
Rewriting the equations to make x the subject, we have ...
x = y² -1 . . . . . [eq1]
x = 1 - y . . . . . .[eq2]
At the points of intersection, the difference will be zero.
y² -1 -(1 -y) = 0
y² +y -2 = 0
(y -1)(y +2) = 0
The y-coordinates of points A and B are 1 and -2.
The corresponding x-coordinates are ...
x = 1 -{1, -2} = {1 -1, 1+2} = {0, 3}
Then A = (0, 1) and B = (3, -2).

A differential of area can be written ...
(x2 -x1)dy = ((1 -y) -(y² -1))dy = (2 -y -y²)dy
Integrating this over the interval y = [-2, 1] gives the area.
The area of the shaded region is 4.5 square units.
