35Area between x2x^2 and xx

Find the area between y=x2\displaystyle y = x^2 and y=x\displaystyle y = x. Give the answer to 3 decimal places.

The curves cross at x=0 and x=1, where the line y=x lies above the parabola y=x². Integrating (x − x²) from 0 to 1 gives 1/6, which is 0.167 to three decimal places.
