You have to divide the question into two parts.

First, use integration to find the area under OA.

The, find the area of the triangle.

Then add them to gether.

\int_{0}^{2}x^3-8x^2+20x

Then find the area of the triangle:

\frac{1}{2}(x_b-x_a)y_a

That comes to:

\frac{1}{2}(\frac{10}{3}-2)16

As f(2)=16

So when you add them together, you get \frac{100}{3}
