Before we start let's remember two important properties of integrals


\begin{gathered} \int (f(x)\pm g(x))_{}dx=\int f(x)dx\pm\int g(x)dx \\ \\ \int c\cdot f(x)dx=c\cdot\int f(x)dx \end{gathered}

Using that, we can rewrite


\int ^2_(-2)(7x^2-28)dx

as


7\int ^2_(-2)x^2dx-28\cdot\int ^2_(-2)dx

The integral of a monomial is


\int x^ndx=(x^(n+1))/(n+1),n\\e-1

Using it let's integrate the two monomials


F(x)=\int (7x^2-28)dx=(7x^3)/(3)-28x+C

Using that and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:


\int ^b_af(x)dx=F(b)-F(a)

We just gotta evaluate F(x) at 2 and -2.


\begin{gathered} \int ^2_(-2)(7x^2-28)dx=F(2)-F(-2) \\ \\ \int ^2_(-2)(7x^2-28)dx=((7\cdot2^3)/(3)-28\cdot2)-((7\cdot(-2)^3)/(3)-28\cdot(-2)_{}) \\ \\ \int ^2_(-2)(7x^2-28)dx=-(56)/(3)-56 \\ \\ \int ^2_(-2)(7x^2-28)dx=-56(1+(1)/(3)) \end{gathered}

Therefore, the final result is


\int ^2_(-2)(7x^2-28)dx=-56(1+(1)/(3))

That's the signed area.
