Area Formula • If f and g are continuous functions on the interval [a, b], and if f(x) > g(x) for all x in [a, b], then the area of the region bounded above by y = f(x), below by y = g(x), on the left by x = a and on the right by x = b is….
Example 1 • Find the area of the region bounded above by y = x + 6 and below by y = x², and bounded on the sides by the lines x = 0 and x = 2.
Example 1 • Find the area of the region bounded above by y = x + 6 and below by y = x², and bounded on the sides by the lines x = 0 and x = 2.
Example 2 • Find the area of the region that is enclosed between the curves y = x² and y = x + 6
Example 2 • Find the area of the region that is enclosed between the curves y = x² and y = x + 6
Example 3 • Find the area enclosed by the curves and
Example 3 • Find the area enclosed by the curves and
Practice • Sketch the region enclosed by and then find the area.
Practice • Sketch the region enclosed by and then find the area.
Example 4 • Find the area of the region that is enclosed between the curves x = y² and y = x – 2 • What’s different about this question?
Example 4 • Find the area of the region that is enclosed between the curves x = y² and y = x – 2 • What’s different about this question?
Two ways to solve….. #1 • Subdivide the regions • Equation of top graph – equation of bottom graph • Equations must be solved in terms of y and bound are determined by x values
#2 • Reverse the roles of x and y • When reversing roles you always subtract the graph on the right – graph on left • Must solve equations in terms of x and gets bounds in terms of y
Example 5 • Find the area of the region enclosed by the curves and x = 1.
Example 6 • Find the area of the region enclosed by the curves and
