We first find the points of intersection of the curves y=∣x2−9∣ and y=3
which gives, ∣x2−9∣=3 ⇒x2−9=±3
⇒x2=12 (or) x2=6 ⇒x=±12 (or) x=±6
The graphs of the two curves are shown in figure

We have to find the area of the shaded region.
Required area =2A1+2A2 (∵ The areas A1 & A2 are symmetrical about y− axis )
where A1=∫06[(9−x2)−(3)]dx
A1=∫06(6−x2)dx=[6x−3x3]06 =66−366=3126=46
A2=∫63[3−(9−x2)]dx+∫312[3−(x2−9)]dx
=∫63(−6+x2)dx+∫312(12−x2)dx
=[−6x+3x3]63+[12x−3x3]312
=(−18+9)−(−66+26))+(1212−412)−(36−9)
=−36+46+812
Hence, required area =2A1+2A2
=2(46)+2(−36+46+812)
=86−72+86+1612
=166+1612−72
