Document Summary

Finding the area between curves is very similar to nding the area underneath a curve. The area between f and g is simply the di erence between the area under f and the area under g. Find the area between the curves: y = 5x x2 y = x. We need to nd the points of intersection between the curves: x = 5x x2 x2. 4 = 0 x(x 4) = 0 x = 0 x = 4. Now we can use those as the limits of integration: A = z b a (cid:20)f (x) g(x)(cid:21)dx. Find the area between the curves: y = x y = x2 y f g x. We need to nd the points of intersection between the curves: x = x2 x2. X = 0 x(x 1) = 0 x = 0 x = 1. Now we can use these as the limits of integration: A = z 1 x x2dx x3 (cid:20) x2.
