The points of intersection of the two 2 curves are given by y2 y= y 2 2y = 0 y (y 2) = 0 y = 0, 2. 2 This gives the two points A = (0, 0) and B = (2, 2).

Hint: First reverse the order of integration.

If we try to evaluate the integral as written above, then the rst step is to compute the indenite integral ex dx. But ex does not have an indenite integral that can be written in terms of elementary functions. Then, we will st reverse the order of integration.
