Intergration Application - 2

The document provides lecture objectives and examples for using integration to find the area between two curves. Specifically, it outlines that the area between curves f(x) and g(x) from x=a to x=b is given by the integral from a to b of [f(x) - g(x)] dx. It then works through two examples - finding the area between y=x and y=x^2 from x=0 to x=1, and finding the area between y=cos(x) and y=sin(x) from x=0 to x=π/2. It concludes with an exercise asking the reader to find another specified area between two curves.

LECTURE OBJECTIVES

Use integration to find area of a region


between two curves

09/09/20 2
Cont’d
Recall that the area under a curve and above the x axis
can be computed by the definite integral.  
If we have two curves y  f ( x) and y  g ( x)
such that f ( x)  g ( x) 
then the area between them bounded by the horizontal
lines x  a and x  b is

  f(x)  g(x) dx or  Top  Bottom dx
