It would be 1 square inch. You can't make a trapezoid cause if you tried to it would turn into a square.
•Using the formula the first term is a1 = −3
•Using the formula the second term is a2 = −1
•Using the formula the third term is a1 = 6
•Common difference formula:
a2 - a1 = (-1) - (-3) = 2

Given that

attains a maximum at

, it follows that

at that same point. So integrating once gives



and so the first derivative is

.
Integrating again, you get


You know that this curve passes through the point (2, -1), which means when

, you have

:


and so
