Step 1 — find where the curve meets the x-axis (the limits). Set y=0y=0:

9−x2=0 ⇒ x2=9 ⇒ x=±39-x^{2}=0\ \Rightarrow\ x^{2}=9\ \Rightarrow\ x=\pm 3

So the region runs from x=−3x=-3 to x=3x=3. On this interval 9−x2≥09-x^{2}\ge0, so the curve is above the axis.

Step 2 — set up and integrate.

A=∫−33(9−x2) dx=[9x−x33]−33A=\int_{-3}^{3}(9-x^{2})\,dx = \left[9x-\frac{x^{3}}{3}\right]_{-3}^{3}

Step 3 — apply the limits. …
