Step 1: Identify the region bounded by the given lines and curves. The vertical lines x = -5 and x = 1 define the limits of integration, while the curves y = 10x and y = x^2 - 11 define the upper and lower boundaries of the region.
Step 2: Determine the points of intersection between the curves y = 10x and y = x^2 - 11. Set 10x = x^2 - 11 and solve for x. This will help identify where the curves cross within the interval [-5, 1].
Step 3: Divide the region into subregions if necessary. If the curves intersect within the interval, split the integral at the intersection point to account for changes in the upper and lower boundaries.
Step 4: Set up the definite integrals to calculate the area. For each subregion, subtract the lower curve (y = x^2 - 11) from the upper curve (y = 10x) and integrate with respect to x over the appropriate interval.
Step 5: Add the results of the integrals from each subregion to find the total area of the region. Ensure proper evaluation of the definite integrals to complete the calculation.
