Covariance inside a parabolic strip

Let A={(x,y)∈R2:x2−12π<y<x2+12π}A=\left\{(x,y)\in\mathbb{R}^{2}:x^{2}-\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{\pi}}<y<x^{2}+\dfrac{1}{2\sqrt{\pi}}\right\} and let the joint probability density function of (X,Y)(X,Y) be f(x,y)={e−(x−1)2,(x,y)∈A0,otherwisef(x,y)=\begin{cases}e^{-(x-1)^{2}},&(x,y)\in A\\0,&\text{otherwise}\end{cases} Then, the covariance between the random variables XX and YY is equal to __________.
