Concept:

The area between the curves y1 = f(x) and y2 = g(x) is given by:

Area enclosed = 

Where, x1 and x2 are the intersections of curves y1 and y2 

Calculation:

Given

Curve 1: y = x2 = f(x) (say)

Curve 2: y - x = 0

⇒ y = 8 - 6x = g(x) (say)

To find the intersections (or limits of the area) putting value of y from curve 1

⇒ x2 - x = 0

⇒ x(x - 1) = 0

⇒ x = 0, x = 1

Now the required area (A) is 

A = 

⇒ A = 

⇒ A = 

⇒ A = 

⇒ A = sq. unit

 

Additional Information

Integral property:

  • ∫ xn dx = + C ; n ≠ -1
  •  + C
  • ∫ edx = ex+ C
  • ∫ adx = (ax/ln a) + C ; a > 0,  a ≠ 1
  • ∫ sin x dx = - cos x + C
  • ∫ cos x dx = sin x + C
