Ooh, fun
what I would do is to make it a piecewise function where the absolute value becomse 0
because if you graphed y=x^2+x-12, some part of the garph would be under the line
with y=|x^2+x-12|, that part under the line is flipped up
so we need to find that flipping point which is at y=0
solve x^2+x-12=0
(x-3)(x+4)=0
at x=-4 and x=3 are the flipping points
we have 2 functions, the regular and flipped one
the regular, we will call f(x), it is f(x)=x^2+x-12
the flipped one, we call g(x), it is g(x)=-(x^2+x-12) or -x^2-x+12
so we do the integeral of f(x) from x=5 to x=-4, plus the integral of g(x) from x=-4 to x=3, plus the integral of f(x) from x=3 to x=5

we conclude that the center of the circle is the point (-5, 0).
<h3>How to find the center of the circle equation?</h3>The equation of a circle with a center (a, b) and a radius R is given by:
Here we are given the equation:
Completing squares, we get:
Now we can add and subtract 25 to get:
Comparing that with the general circle equation, we conclude that the center of the circle is the point (-5, 0).
