Aim :
• To find the area enclosed by curves using definite integrals .
Concepts :
• Definite integrals.
Activity 34.1 : Area bounded by x axis
Procedure :
1. Draw the graph of the function f(x) = x 2
Qn.(1). Find the area enclosed by the curve y = f(x), x axis, x = 0 and x = 2 using
the input command Integral (f ,0 ,2)
Qn.(2). Find the area enclosed by the curve y = x 2 , x axis, between
(i) x = −1 and x = 3 (ii) x = −5 and x = 0
3 x2 + y2 = 4 12.566
4 y = sin x, x axis, x = π, x = 2π 2
Activity 34.2 Area of a region which is above and below x axis
Procedure :
1. Set f(x) = x 2 − 3 and edit the upper and lower limits.
