Example Question #91 : How To Find Area Of A Region
Find the area under the curve drawn by the function on the interval of to .
In order to find the area under on the interval of to , you must evaluate the definite integral
First, integrate the function.
Then, substitute values for .
Finally, evaluate while cancelling negative signs.
Example Question #171 : Regions
What is the area below the curve , above the -axis, and between and ?
The area described is the integral
.
This can be evaluated using the linear properties of integrals and the Power Law, which says
.
Thus the integral above is equal to
.
Example Question #172 : Regions
Find the area of the region between the graphs of and from to .
The two functions are increasing during the interval .
To the find the area of the region between and , one needs to first figure out which function is above the other in the interval . Plug in and into each function to check which one has the higher value at these respective points.
has a higher value than at both of these x-values, and since both functions are increasing during this interval, we can conclude that is above during this interval.
After that, set the definite integral
.
Using the general rule for integrals,
and for exponential functions,
on our function we get
from to .
This equals to
.
Example Question #3051 : Functions
Find the area of the region created between the graphs of and between and .
Area of a region between two graphs and , and between two values and can be given as
Since we want to find the area between and between and ,
we can set this up as one definite integral.
We can ignore the value until we have a numerical answer.
First, we know that by the sum rule
By the power rule, we know that
, where are constants and is a variable.
Therefore,
We also know as an identity that
, when
Therefore,
We also know that for definite integrals,
, where
In our case,

In order to find the area of the region between the curve of the function and the x-axis on the interval [,], we solve for the integral
.
For this problem the integral becomes
And since the fuction is always positive on the interval, the integral becomes
.
When taking the integral, we will use the inverse power rule which states,
.
Applying this rule we get
.
And by the corollary of the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
.
As such, the area is

Example Question #95 : How To Find Area Of A Region
What is the area of the region beneath the curve defined by the function to the right of the y-axis?
For the region to the right of the y-axis, the range of x is . The next step is to find the integral of the function:
The method of integration by parts will serve here:
Now, converges to zero; however, to determine what conveges to, use L'Hopital's Rule:
Since can be rewrittena s and both the numerator and denominator approach as x does:
Example Question #175 : Regions
Which of the following integrals represents the area of the rectangle formed by the points , , , and ?
The function that bounds a rectangle is a horizontal line.
In this case, , so the area of the shape is just the integral of this line over the bounds of the x-axis, which in this case is 3 and 7 since the rectangle starts at 3 and ends at 7.
Thus, is the solution.
Example Question #176 : Regions
Find the area of the region bounded by the curve and the -axis over the interval .
The area of the region bounded underneath by the x-axis can be found by integrating the function
over the specified interval of :
To integrate use the rule,
.
Applying this rule to our function we find the following.
Example Question #177 : Regions
Find the area of the region bounded by the functions , , and on the left by the -axis.
To find the area of the region between the functions , , the first step will be to determine the lower and upper x bounds. We're told the region is bounded by the y-axis on the left, so . The upper x-bound will be where the two functions intersect:
For the value of , each of the functions equals .
Over the interval of , , so the area of the region can be determined by the integral:
Use the following rules to integrate the function:
and
Applying the above rules we get,
