Consider \(y=x^3\) and \(y=x\) for \(-1\le x\le1\).

Find all intersection coordinates.

[2]

Find the total area enclosed between the curves.

[3]

Both curves are translated upward by 4 units. Find the new total area and explain why the signed integral \(\int_{-1}^1[(x+4)-(x^3+4)]\,dx\) is not that area.

[3]
