What is the net area between #f(x) = 2x-6 # and the x-axis over #x in [2, 4 ]#?
2 units squared.
You can go about this in two ways: Algebra and Integrals.
Algebra
y = 2x-6 is linear, thus if we take the value over the x interval [2,4] we can use geometry to calculate the area. graph{2x-6 [-2.27, 7.73, -2.18, 2.82]}
You can see two triangles in the graph (you could also find this algebraically). Thus, you can calculate the area.
Integrals
An integral gives the area under the curve. Remember though that if a function goes below the X axis, the integral is negative Thus you have to do two separate integrals based on the X intercept.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
