Solving these functions for y in standard form
f(x) = sqrt(4-x^2)
g(x) = 2-x
They intersect at (0,2) and (2,0) with shading above the line but below the circle.
The integral ( f(x)-g(x)) = x* sqrt( 1- x^2/4) - x^2/2 + 2*arcsin(x/2) + C
[ trig substitution x = sin t needed to integrate f(x) ]
For x= 0, The entire function vanishes ...
For x=2, the definite integral, is pi-2 because the sqrt term vanishes, the second term is -2,
and 2*arcsin(1) = 2 * pi/2 = pi
So the definite integral is pi -2
