Calculation Of The Area Between The Curve And The X Axis
After you have skillfully
calculated certain integrals, below will be presented a calculation of the area
between the curve and the X-axis.
Example 7.
Calculate the area bounded by the curve y = x2, X axis, line x = 1, and line x = 2.
Answers:
So, the area is 2.33 units of area
The size of the area shown in Figure-1 is positive, because the product of f (x) and ∂x is negative.
Because the area is always positive, then,
Example 1:
Calculate the area under the X-axis which is limited by the curve y = 4- 2x, the X-axis, and the line x = 4. Answer:
The shaded area is located below the X-axis, the area
So, the area under the X-axis is limited by the curve y = 4 - 2x, the x-axis and line x = 4 are 4 units of area.
Example 2.
Calculate the area bounded by the curve y = 4x – x2, X axis, line x = 0 and line x = 6
Answers:
By looking at Figure 3, to calculate the area it needs to be divided into two parts. namely,
Thus, the total area is L1 + L2 = 10 2/3 + 10 2/3 =
21 1/3 unit area
Area Between Two Curves f(x) and g(x)
Suppose that f and g are continuous functions in [a, b] and f (x) ≥ g (x) in that interval, with the terms y1 = f(x) and y2 = g(x) not intersecting on [a, b]. Figure-4 shows the above information specifically for the functions of f and g which are non-negative.
In Fig. 4 it appears that the area limited by the curves f and g in [a, b] is
Note: In the same way it can be shown that the formula also applies to negative f and g functions or positive f functions and negative g functions as shown in Figure-5 below,
Example 3.
Calculate the area limited
by the curve y = x2 + 3x and y = 2x + 2.
Answer:
First, determine the
intersection of the two curves, as the boundary and the lower limit.
x2 + 3x = 2x +
2
So, the boundaries are x = -2 and x = 1, so the area bounded by the two curves is,
So, the area is 4 1/2 units of area.
