Homework Statement
Find the area of the region enclosed by the parametric equation
x = t3- 7t
y = 8t2
Homework Equations
A = ∫ y(t) x'(t) dt
The Attempt at a Solution
I initially began with A = ∫ y(t) x'(t) dt
And got to ∫24t4-56t2dt and then to 24∫t4dt - 56∫t2dt
but without a limit/defined area I'm not entirely sure how to proceed.
At first I assumed the question wanted a general equation, in which case I came up with (24/5)t5 - (56/3)t3, but it doesn't seem to be working.
