Topic 8 Application of IntegrationRevised

1) The document discusses calculating the area under curves and between curves using integration. It provides examples of finding the area under curves defined by functions between limits using the integral, and the area between two curves using the integral of the upper curve minus the lower curve. 2) An example calculates the area A bounded above by the curve y=3x-x^2 and below by the x-axis between x=0 and x=3 by integrating 3x-x^2 from 0 to 3. 3) Exercises have the reader find specific areas under and between curves defined by given functions over certain intervals by sketching the regions and setting up the appropriate integrals.
