You can integrate the entire thing from x = -4 to x = 4. If the boundaries had been on the y-axis from 0 to 3, I would say that you should rewrite the equation. But in this case, you don't have to.

I still don't see why you're integrating, but I guess if you really think there's a reason, there must be. I've never pretended to remember everything from my calculus classes.
Like I said before..I'm just learning this stuff.. and just missed this lesson..So I have to do it by the books.. The books give me a formula.. I use the formula...

What can I say

And the graph is bounded by y from 0 to 4 and according to my textbook it does go pass those boundaries....

Damnit I hate misplacing my Graphing calc
