To find the area of a region on an interval between two curves or, the Area Between Two Curves is the same
as finding the area between a non-negative function bounded to the x-axis on [𝑎, 𝑏]. Consider the two curves
that you need to find the area of the shaded region on [𝑎, 𝑏] as 𝑓(𝑥) and 𝑔(𝑥) where 𝑓(𝑥) ≥ 𝑔(𝑥). Now
imagine 𝑓(𝑥) being only a non-negative function and 𝑔(𝑥) = 0. You would find the area with x-integration,
𝑏 𝑏
as ∫𝑎 𝑓(𝑥)𝑑𝑥 which is the same as ∫𝑎 [𝑓(𝑥) − 0]𝑑𝑥. This process is the same for when 𝑓(𝑥) is not non-
negative and when 𝑔(𝑥) is not equal to zero. We find the area between two curves on [𝑎, 𝑏] with
𝑏
∫𝑎 [𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)]𝑑𝑥 . An easy way to remember the integrand is “top minus bottom.”

An Area Between Two Curves could be a region defined within two functions of y. Consider the function,
𝑦 = − 𝑥 3 + 1 on [0, 1]. You can rewrite this function as 𝑥 = 3√1 − 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑦). And there are other times
when you are given functions of y and you cannot isolate y to a single equation. There is when we need to find
the area with y-integration. In the example above, 𝑦 = − 𝑥 3 + 1 the interval 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 1 is the domain and
0 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 1 is the range. So you must figure out the range or y-values you are going to use to find the area -
when you are using y-integration! They are not always the same values!! Now when you graph
𝑓(𝑦) and 𝑔(𝑦) = 0,
𝑏
you should see that 𝑓(𝑦) ≥ 𝑔(𝑦). To find the area, you change the idea of ∫𝑎 [𝑓(𝑥) − 0]𝑑𝑥 into
𝑦=𝑏 𝑥=𝑏 𝑦=𝑏
∫𝑦=𝑎 [𝑓(𝑦) − 0]𝑑𝑦 in other words ∫𝑥=𝑎 [𝑓(𝑥) − 𝑔(𝑥)]𝑑𝑥 becomes ∫𝑦=𝑎 [𝑓(𝑦) − 𝑔(𝑦)]𝑑𝑦 for when you
𝑦=𝑏
need y-integration. So, we find the area between two curves on 𝑎 ≤ 𝑦 ≤ 𝑏 with ∫𝑦=𝑎 [𝑓(𝑦) − 𝑔(𝑦)]𝑑𝑦. An
easy way to remember the integrand is “right minus left.” There will be no “top” or “bottom” function, the
“right” function is x-values greater than the “left” function’s x-values.

Displacement is the change in position of a body or object. Displacement can also be called net effect or Net
Change of a body or object at position 𝑠(𝑡), over some interval of time, t. We knew displacement as the
numerator of our difference quotient, or, 𝑠(𝑡 + ∆𝑡) − 𝑠(𝑡) when the rate of change is constant. If s is a body’s
𝑏
position at time t, the displacement over t to (𝑡 + ∆𝑡) is ∫𝑎 𝑣(𝑡)𝑑𝑡. To find its position, you need to use 𝑠(0) +
𝑏
∫𝑎 𝑣(𝑡)𝑑𝑡. To find the distance traveled, you need to consider using the properties of integrals to evaluate
𝑏
∫𝑎 |𝑣(𝑡)|𝑑𝑡. When you are asked to describe the motion, remember, consider the initial value, describe the
direction the particle or object proceeds to, where it stops and changes direction (if applicable) and where it
proceeds from there.

There are four ways in which we can find the Volume of solids of revolution. They are the (1) Washer
Method, the (2) Disks Method, the (3) cylindrical Shells Method and you can find the volume by the (4)
Slicing Method, which use the Cross Sectional Area. A solid of revolution refers to a solid that is formed by
rotating (revolution) a curve (or curves) that is (are) graphed in the xy-plane about a line. This line is called the
5
axis of revolution. If we are using the first two or last methods to find the volume of a solid, if the axis of
revolution is a horizontal line, then you need to integrate with respect to x. If we are using the first two or last
methods to find the volume of a solid, if the axis of revolution is a vertical line, then you need to integrate with
respect to y. A cross section is the obtained shape by making a straight cut into a solid. For a real life example,
the cross section of a pat from a stick of butter is a square. Containers, vases, and other solids may have a
washer and/or disk as a cross section. Other cross sections of solids can be rectangles, triangles and even
semicircles. Remembering the equations for the area of these figures is needed, because they are used within
the integrand. To find a way of measuring a side or radius, use subtraction to find the difference. That
difference will be the difference between functions. But we need an expression to integrate because we use
integration to find the volume.

Arc Length, is a BC Calculus topic. We know that to find the length of a line segment, you need to find the
distance, and we use the distance formula. But if we need to find the length, or distance, of a smooth planar
8
curve, we need to use the formula for arc length. The formula involves using a derivative within a definite
integral. We can also use the formula if we are asked to find the perimeter of a region that is defined by
functions that are curves within the plane. Similarly, we can use the formula to find the distance traveled
around that region. Since the formula includes a derivative, make sure that the function is differentiable at
every point in the interval. You may need to do more than one integral or find the integral with respect to y
instead of x.
For the following (a) set up an integral for the length of the curve, (b) graph the curve to see what it looks like

21. How long does it take the objects to fall the first 160 cm? What is their average rate of change for
the period?
22. How fast are the objects falling when they reach 160-cm mark? What is their acceleration then?
