Find the area between y=0 and y=1, then subtract that from 1

thats right
I dont think so.... 2/3 units squared is the area on the right side of the axis, u have to multiply it by 2 to get the complete answer... i think the correct answer is 1/1/3 units squared

The answer is 2/3 units squared.

Your answer is not right.

You can just find the area bounded by x=0 and x=1 and substract that from 1. That's how you get 2/3.

In saying that, I think pLuvia got it other way around.
