We use inegral method to evolve the area finding problems for the continous curves which bound on some points normally we said as the area. Sonetimes the integral functions are given on the which satisfying some lines the graph. These are all considered here. Now we are going to deal with finding the area on the continous curves and lines.
Explanation "finding areas with integrals"
On the first step here we going to separate the different areas according to the axis and the graphs present in the bounds which is drawn according to our problem.
By the way, we have to separate the integral limits.
And then we prosecute the execution.
Examples:
Find the area of the region bounded y = x2 − 5x + 4, x = 2, x = 3 and the x-axis.
solution:
For all x, 2 ≤ x ≤ 3 the curve lies below the x-axis.Integral area
Required area = int_2^3(-y)dx
= int_2^3 -(x^2 - 5x + 4)dx
= - [x^3/3 - 5x^2/2 + 4x]_2^3
= - [(9 - 45/2 + 12) - (8/3 - 20/2 + 8)]
= - [-13/6 ] = 13/6 sq. units
This is the required area represented in the square units.
Find the regional area for the region for x = 1, x = 4 bounded by the 3x − 15y − 15 = 0 line in x-axis.
Solution:
The line 3x − 15y − 15 = 0 appears in the x-axis (below) in the interval x = 1 and x = 4Integral area
∴Required area = int_1^4(-y)dx
= int_2^3 -1/15(3x - 15)dx
= 3/15int_2^3 (5 - x )dx
= 3/15[5x - x^2/2 ]_1^4
= 3/15 [5(4 - 1) -1/2 (16 - 1)]
= 3/15 [15 - 15/2]
= 3/2 sq. units.
This is the required area represented in the square units.
problems to explain "finding areas with integrals"
Find the area between the curves y = x2 − x − 2, x-axis and the lines x = − 2 and x = 4
Solution:
y = x2 − x − 2Integral area
= (x + 1) (x − 2)
This curve intersects x-axis at x = − 1 and x = 2
Required area = A + B + C
The part B lies below x-axis.
∴ B = = -int_-1^2(y)dx
Hence required area = int_-2^-1(y)dx + int_-1^2(-y)dx + int_2^4(y)dx
= int_-2^-1(x^2 - x - 2)dx + int_-1^2(-(x^2 - x - 2))dx + int_2^4(x^2 - x - 2)dx
= [x^3/3 - x^2/2 - 2]_-2^-1 + [-[x^3/3 - x^2/2 - 2]]_-1^2 + [x^3/3 - x^2/2 - 2]_2^4
= 11/6 + 9/2 + 26/3 = 15 square units
This is the required area represented in the square units.
