Compute area between two curves

Given two simple equations y=sqrt(x) and y = -(x^2)/5

What is the area between the curves from x=0 to x=6?

int(sqrt(x) + x^2/5, x, 0, 6) = 4 * sqrt(6) + 72/5 or approximately 24.198

integer of y1-y2 = area between curves

u'=y1-y2= x^(1/2)+1/5*x^2
u(x)= 2/3*x^(3/2)+1/3*1/5*x^3+c
u(6)-u(0)= 24.198 - 0= 24.198

I agree with Cry Wolf's answer

good work

I was afraid high school math was too simple for you guys.

But I get tired of no new post. So I feel the urge to post something

I'd prefer some primary school maths please!
