There might be a way to integrate that kind of equation, but I never bothered.

Actually in order to do this problem correctly you must integrate...
I can do the integration of it no problem
y'=16-x²
y=16x-x³/3
That isn't the real issue here.. The graph is bounded by y..So I'm wonderinf it the problem needs to be in terms of y..and if so,.. do you have to change the whole problem
