Hi everyone, kindly please help me in solving this problem. I am new to this matlab. So I am not really sure how to do this.
Hoping for a step-by-step answer.
Let f(x) = e^x - 1 and g(x) = 1 - x^2 for x ∈ [0; 1]. Draw the graphs of the two functions f and g, determine the point of intersection z of the two graphs and calculate the area of the region between the two graphs in [0; z].
Thank you in advance.

The area "between" two intersecting real-valued functons is equal to the area of the absolute value of the difference between the two functions. The area of the absolute value of the difference can be calculated symbolically using int()

Step 1. Calculation the two functions
x = linspace(0, 1, 200);
f = exp(x)-1;
g = 1-x.^2;
Step 2. Plot the calculated f(x) and g(x) points
plot(x, f, 'b-', x, g, 'r', LineWidth=2), grid on
xlabel('$x$', 'interpreter', 'latex')
ylabel('$f(x), \ g(x)$', 'interpreter', 'latex')

Step 3. Find the intersection
[xi,yi] = polyxpoly(x,f,x,g);
mapshow(xi,yi,'DisplayType','point','Marker','o', 'MarkerFaceColor', 'c', 'MarkerSize', 9)
Step 4. Compute the area between the two curves
AREA = trapz(x,f)-trapz(x,g)

The area "between" the two curves is the sum:
- area of (higher one minus lower one) between 0 and intersection point; plus
- area of (new higher one minus new lower one) between intersection point and 1.
Which can also be expressed as the absolute value of the difference in the functions.
The calculation you did is the plain difference between the functions -- and the difference goes negative when the functions intersect.

AREA = int(abs((exp(t)-1) - (1-t.^2)), 0, 1)
