Definite Integral

The document discusses the concept of definite integrals and their application in calculating areas under curves. It provides several examples illustrating how to find areas bounded by curves and the x-axis, as well as the area between two curves. Key formulas and calculations are presented to demonstrate the process of integration in these contexts.
