Default calculate area of shaded region
firstly, if I want to find the points on intersection on this graph between the curve and line, I'd set thier y values equal to each other.

y = x^3

y = -x+2

x^3 = -x +2

x^3 +x -2 = 0

how do I solve that?

or do I not need these points when working out the area ?
