Answer

$2^{5/2}$

Work Step by Step

On the interval $[-\pi,0]$, the graph of $y=3(\sin x)\sqrt{1+\cos x}$ is below the graph of $y=0$. The area between the two graphs over [a,b], where one graph is above the other, is given with $\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b}(y_{above}-y_{below})dx$. $A=\displaystyle \int_{-\pi}^{0}[0-3(\sin x)\sqrt{1+\cos x}]dx=-3\int_{-\pi}^{0}\sqrt{1+\cos x}(\sin x)dx=$ Apply substitution: $\left[\begin{array}{lll} u=1+\cos x & & du=-\sin xdx\\ & & (\sin x)dx=-du\\ Borders: & & \\ x=-\pi & \rightarrow & u=1+\cos(-\pi)=0\\ x=0 & \rightarrow & u=1+\cos(0)=2 \end{array}\right]$ $=-\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}3u^{1/2}(-du)$ $=3\displaystyle \int_{0}^{2}u^{1/2}du$ $=[2u^{3/2}]_{0}^{2}$ $=2(2)^{3/2}-0$ = $2^{5/2}$
