This relationis validas long as the two functionsare continuousand the upperfunction on
the interval
The AreaBetweenTwo Curves(With respectto the -axis)
If and are two continuousfunctionson the interval and for all valuesof in the
interval,then the area of the regionthat is boundedby the two functionsis givenby
Example 1 :
Find the area of the regionenclosedbetween and
Figure 2
Solution:
We first makea sketchof the region(Figure2) and find the end pointsof the region.To do so, we simply
equatethe two functions,
