As usual, what have you done?
It does help to upload your working in the OP.

Thats not quite what the question is asking.
Sketch the curve and the boundary of the integration problem and upload?

Which part are you working out?
Also note your previous working misses out the lower limit part at the end.

I’m trying to find the enclosed area in the middle.

Agreed, you've only done from x = 1/2 .. 2 though, you're missing a bit.
Also note that your working doesn't include the lower or upper(?) limit in the previous post. The area should not be negative.

3/2 looks about right for 1/2..2. So what about the bit from 0..1/2.
Id bet you do know how to get that area.

You want to find the area enclosed by the axes, the curve and x=2 and y=4. Do a sketch, rather than desmos, and shade in the area youve already calculated. Which bit is missing?

Isn’t the part that is left meant to be 0…2 I just can’t get my head around why it is 0…1/2

Tbh, Id forget about desmos (its good, but just sketch it on your paper as you would do in an exam).
Shade the area youve calculated, noting the limits youve used.

Wouldn't this be the correct way to draw the graph (R = area)?
