Good evening Candice! I am not sure what the question actually wants, but I can say that for between the two intersection points, the sad face curve lies above the smiley face curve.

In view of this, we can say that at b,

- (x + 2)^2 + 10 is greater than b, but b is greater than 4x^2.

Let me think about a.

Since (a, b) lies ABOVE the curve y = 4x^2, we substitute a and b and an inequality sign to get

b > 4a^2

(if the point is on the curve, then b = 4a^2)

Since (a, b) lies BELOW the curve y = - (x + 2)^2 + 10, we can make a similar statement

b < -(a + 2)^2 + 10

In other words, the point (a, b) lies in a region where b > 4a^2 and b <-(a + 2)^2 + 10.

Good evening Candice! This is the furthest I could go; I am unable to find other ways to find the relationship between a and b.

My interpretation of the question is that we need to find an equation connecting both a and b in one single equation. But then, since a and b are variable points within that shaded region, we can at best find an inequality connecting a and b.
