3. Problem: Find the area of the region bounded by the graphs of $y=x^{2}, y=x$, and $x=2$.
Solution: There are two regions to consider. First, there is the region bounded by $y=x^{2}$ and $y=x$, in the interval $[0,1]$. In this interval, the values of $y=x$ are greater than the values of $y=x^{2}$, thus the area is calculated by $\int_{0}^{1}\left(x-x^{2}\right) d x$.

Second, there is the region bounded by $y=x^{2}$ and $y=x$ and $x=2$, in the interval $[1,2]$. In this interval, the values of $y=x^{2}$ are greater than the values of $y=x$, thus the area is calculated by $\int_{1}^{2}\left(x^{2}-x\right) d x$. Then the total area of the region bounded by the three graphs is $\int_{0}^{1}\left(x-x^{2}\right) d x+\int_{1}^{2}\left(x^{2}-x\right) d x=1$.
