Problem Statement

In the xx-yy plane, two variable points P, QP,\ Q stay in P(2t, 2t2+2t), Q(t+2,3t+2)P(2t,\ -2t^2+2t),\ Q(t+2,-3t+2) at the time tt. Let denote t0t_0 as the time such that PQ=0\overline{PQ}=0. When tt varies in the range of 0tt00\leq t\leq t_0, find the area of the region swept by the line segment PQPQ in the xx-yy plane.
