1
APPLICATIONS OF INTEGRATION AREA BETWEEN 2 CURVES
2
We want to find the area between f(x) = x 2 and g(x) = -x + 6. Always graph the two functions first to get a visual of the area.
3
FIND POINTS OF INTERSECTION Because we only want the area between, we have to find the points of intersection. To do this, set f(x) = g(x) and solve for x. x 2 = -x + 6 x = -3 and 2
4
FIND THE AREA UNDER BOTH CURVES
5
FORMULA left point of intersection right point of intersection upper function lower function
6
PRACTICE Set up and solve the integral to find the area between f(x) = 2 – x 2 and g(x) = -x. Area is 9/2 units squared
7
TO USE THE CALCULATOR Input the two equations into y1 and y2. Graph and find the two intersections. 2 nd CALC intersect ENTER “First curve?” ENTER “Second curve?” ENTER “Guess?” Move cursor over one intersection point, ENTER Get solution, repeat steps for second intersection point x = -1 and 2
