Some new curves:
x = y2
x = y2 − 9
When sketching curves such as these, pay
attention to the sign (+ve or −ve) of x and
y and also the direction of the shifts. Plug in
x = 0 and y = 0 to get reference points.
The area between two curves
Height of rectangle centered at xi is given by:
(y-value of top curve) − (y-value bottom curve)
or, in this case:f (xi)− g(xi)
Example: find the area bounded above by
the curve y = ex, bounded below by y = x
and bounded on the left by x = 0 and on the
right by x = 1.
Example: find the area bounded by the
curves y = x2 and y = 2x− x2.
Area between curves
The area between two curves y = f (x)
and y = g(x), and between x = a and
x = b is
A =
∫ b
a
|f (x)− g(x)| dx
Example 5
Find the area of the region bounded by
y = sinx, y = cosx, x = 0 and x = π/2.
Solution: 2√2− 2.
Example 6
Find the area enclosed by the line y = x− 1
and the parabola y2 = 2x + 6.
Solution:∫ 4
−2
[(y + 1)−
(y2
2− 3
)]dy = 18
Using two methods: find the area between
the curves y2 = 4− x and 4y = −x + 4.
Integrating with respect to x we get:∫ 4
−12
(√4− x + x
4− 1)dx
Integrating with respect to y we get:∫ 4
0
(4y − y2) dy
In both cases the answer is32
3.
Using both methods: find the area of the
region between x + y2 = 4 and x− y = 2.
Solution: the problem on the previous slide
is much easier to solve if you integrate with
respect to y.
Either method will give you A = 412.
Volumes
Familiar volume calculations
We can calculate the volume of many shapes
by multiplying the area of the base by the
height of the shape. However, this only works
if the shape at the base is extended upwards
at right angles and remains constant.
When calculating the area of a disk at x, we
will use the notation A(x).
We will sometimes integrate with respect to
y and then we will write A(y) for the area of
a disk at y.
