MATHONGO – FORMULA SHEETS – AREA

(a) The area bounded by the curve y  f x ,  y-axis

the x-axis and the ordinates x= a and x =

b
y = f(x)
b is  y dx . (Here f (x) > 0)

O x=a x=b

(b) The area bounded by the curve y-axis

 
x  f y , the y-axis and the lines x = f(y)
b y=b
y  a and y  b is 

(c) To find the total area enclosed by a curve y-axis

which crosses the x-axis at points between
two abscissa, draw the diagram and divide
the range of integration into appropriate y=f(x)
subranges. x-axis

(d) Area between the curves y  f x  and y-axis

y = (x)


y   x . Find the x coordinates of the point y = f(x)
of intersection and let them be a and b.
