Question: Shading under a curve in a 2D plot

I am wondering how to shade a portion of the plane under a curve from say x=a to x=b. To be more specific suppose I have the function f(x) = 5 - x^2. I want to plot this function and shade the region under this curve and above the x-axis from x = 1 to x=2. How can I shade it with a solid color; and how can I shade it with a striped region. I imagine there must be some "shade" command or option. Your assistance will be appreciated. Tom
