SECTION 4-3-B Area under the Curve
Def: The area under a curve bounded by f(x) and the x-axis and the lines x = a and x = b is given by Where and n is the number of sub-intervals
Area under the curve: Inscribed rectangle Circumscribed rectangle The sum of the area of the inscribed rectangles is called a lower sum, and the sum of the area of the circumscribed rectangles is called an upper sum
Area under the curve
The Exact area under a curve is given by: Where the number a is the lower limit of integration and b is the upper limit of integration f(x) must be continuous on the interval [a, b ]
Area under the curve bounded by the x-axis and the lines x=a and x=b
Area under the x-axis bounded by the curve and the lines x=a and x=b + - Use absolute value because there is no such thing as negative area
1) Find area bounded by the x-axis and
2) Find the area
3) Find area bounded by the x-axis and
4) Approximate using Left and Right hand Riemann sums with 6 equal subdivisions then compare to the exact area.
