6.1 Areas Between Curves

Areas Between Curves
Consider the region S that lies between two curves y = f (x) and y = g(x) and between the vertical lines x = a and x = b, where f and g are continuous functions and
f (x) g(x) for all x in [a, b]. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1
S = {(x, y) | a x b, g(x) y ƒ(x)}
44
Areas Between Curves
We divide S into n strips of equal width and then we approximate the i th strip by a rectangle with base x and height f (xi*) – g(xi*). (See Figure 2. If we like, we could take all of the sample points to be right endpoints, in which case xi* = xi.)
Figure 2

Areas Between Curves
The Riemann sum
is therefore an approximation to what we intuitively think of
as the area of S.
This approximation appears to become better and better as
n . Therefore we define the area A of the region S as
the limiting value of the sum of the areas of these
approximating rectangles.

Areas Between Curves
We recognize the limit in (1) as the definite integral of f – g.
Therefore we have the following formula for area.
Notice that in the special case where g(x) = 0, S is the region under the graph of f and our general definition of area (1) reduces.
77
Areas Between Curves
In the case where both f and g are positive, you can see from Figure 3 why (2) is true:
A = [area under y = f (x)] – [area under y = g(x)]
Figure 3
88
Example 1
Find the area of the region bounded above by y = x2 + 1, bounded below by y = x, and bounded on the sides by x = 0 and x = 1.
Solution:
The region is shown in Figure 4. The upper boundary curve is y = x2 + 1 and the lower boundary curve is y = x.
Figure 4

Example 1 – Solution
So we use the area formula (2) with f (x) = x2 + 1, g(x) = x, a = 0, and b = 1:
cont’d

Areas Between Curves
If we are asked to find the area
between the curves y = f (x) and
y = g (x) where f (x) g (x) for
some values x of but g (x) f (x)
for other values of x, then we split
the given region S into several regions S1, S2 , . . . with areas A1, A2 , . . . as shown in Figure 9. We then define the area of the region S to be the sum of the areas of the smaller regions S1, S2 , . . . that is A = A1 + A2 + . . . Since
f (x) – g (x) when f (x) g (x)
| f (x) – g (x) | =
g (x) – f (x) when g (x) f (x)
Figure 9
1111
Areas Between Curves
we have the following expression for A.
When evaluating the integral in (3), however, we must still split it into integrals corresponding to A1, A2,……
1212
Example 2
Find the area of the region bounded by the curves y = sin x, y = cos x, x = 0, and x = /2
Solution:
The points of intersection occur when sin x = cos x, that is, when x = /4 (since 0 x /2). The region is sketched in Figure 10. Observe that cos x sin x when 0 x /4 but sin x cos x when /4 x /2.
Figure 10
1313
Example 5 – Solution
Therefore the required area is
cont’d
1414
Example 5 – Solution
In this particular example we could have saved some work by noticing that the region is symmetric about x = /4 and so
cont’d
1515
Areas Between CurvesSome regions are best treated by regarding x as a function of y. If a region is bounded by curves with equations x = f (y), x = g (y), y = c, and y = d, where f and g are continuous and f (y) g (y) for c y d (see Figure 11), then its area is

Find the area enclosed by the line y = x - 1 and the parabola y2 = 2x + 6.
Example 3
1717
By solving the two equations, we find that the points of intersection are (-1, -2) and (5, 4).
• We solve the equation of the parabola for x.
• From the figure, we notice that the left and right boundary curves are:

In the example, we could have found the area by integrating with respect to x instead of y. However, the calculation is much more involved.
It would have meant splitting the
region in two and computing
the areas labeled A1 and A2.
• The method used in the example is much easier.

The curves y = x and y = x2 intersect at the points (0, 0) and (1, 1).
The region between them, the solid of rotation, and cross-section perpendicular to the x-axis are shown.

Average Value of a Function
It is easy to calculate the average value of finitely many numbers y1, y2, . . . , yn:
But how do we compute the average temperature during a day if infinitely many temperature readings are possible?
Figure 1 shows the graph of a temperature function T(t), where t is measured in hours and T in C, and a guess at the average temperature, Tave.
Figure 1
5050
Average Value of a Function
We define the average value of f on the interval [a, b] as
5151
Example 1
Find the average value of the function f (x) = 1 + x2 on the interval [–1, 2].
Solution:
With a = –1 and b = 2 we have
5252
Average Value of a Function
If T(t) is the temperature at time t, we might wonder if there is a specific time when the temperature is the same as the average temperature.
For the temperature function graphed in Figure 1, we see that there are two such times––just before noon and just before midnight.
In general, is there a number c at which the value of a function f is exactly equal to the average value of the function, that is, f (c) = fave?
Figure 1

Average Value of a Function
The following theorem says that this is true for continuous functions.
The Mean Value Theorem for Integrals is a consequence of the Mean Value Theorem for derivatives and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.

6.5 Arc Length

Arc Length
dividing the interval up into n equal subintervals each of width
the point on the curve at each point is denoted by Pi.
We can then approximate the curve by a series of straight lines connecting the points.
the approximation gets better as we let n increase
Archimedes used the perimeters of inscribed polygons to approximate the circumference of a circle. For n=96, the approximation method gives 3.14103 as the circumference of the unit circle.

the length of each of these line segments
and the length of the curve will then be approximately,
and we can get the exact length by taking n larger and larger.

Arc Length
If we use Leibniz notation for derivatives, we can write the
arc length formula as follows:

Find the length of the arc of the semicubical parabola
y2 = x
3 between the points (1, 1) and (4, 8). (See Figure 5.)
Figure 5
6161
Example 1 – Solution
For the top half of the curve we have
y = x3/2
So the arc length formula gives
If we substitute u = 1 + , then du = dx.
When x = 1, u = ; when x = 4, u = 10.

If a curve has the equation x = g (y), c y d, and g (y) is continuous, then by interchanging the roles of x and y in Formula 2 or Equation 3, we obtain the following formula for its length:

Area of a Surface of Revolution
In this section we are going to look once again at solids of revolution. We first looked at themback the volume of the solid of revolution. In this section we wantto find the surface area of this region.
6868
Area of a Surface of RevolutionIf yi = f(xi), then the point Pi(xi, yi) lies on the curve.
The part of the surface between xi–1 and xi is approximated by taking the line segment Pi–1 Pi
and rotating it about the x-axis.
The result is a band with
slant height l = | Pi–1Pi |
and average radius r = ½(yi–1
+ yi). So, its surface area is:
