Area under the Curve

1. INTRODUCTION
Finding area covered by a curve is the most important application of integration. The process of
finding area of some plane region is called Quadrature. In this topic we shall discuss the methods
to find the area bounded by some simple plane curves with the help of definite integral. For solving
quadrature problems with ease, we need to draw at least the rough sketch of the curve. Then we
can find the area of the curve.
Hence to find area of given curve, we first need to learn curve tracing, and then we will move
towards finding area of given curve. Generally, a single curve doesnt bound any area, maximum
curves bound area between some given points or axes; however some curves like circle, ellipse
bound area to itself without any point or axis.

2. CURVE TRACING
As we have discussed earlier this is the most basic step to find the area as it gives you an idea on
how to proceed further. Sometimes it becomes very hard to draw exact curve of a given function
then we need to get basic idea of the curve by putting some value. There are no hard and fast rules
which guarantee all the information that is needed to draw the graph of a function f, but here is
one possible way of organizing the analysis of function (the order of the following steps can be
varied):
STEP 1: By putting some values and locating some points of the curve.
STEP 2: By checking tendency of the curve i.e. if it is increasing or decreasing or it is concave or
convex. By locating boundary points of the curve we will get a basic sketch of the curve. However
all these methods are taught in previous chapters of calculus.
STEP 3: Check for the symmetry.
The curve f(x, y) = 0 is symmetric
about x-axis if all the y terms contain even powers
about y-axis if all the x terms contain even powers
about the origin if f(x, y) = f(x, y)
For example. y2 = 4ax is symmetrical about x-axis, and x2 = 4ay is symmetrical about y-axis and the
curve y = x3 is symmetrical about the origin.
STEP 4: Check if the curve passes through the Origin.
If the equation of the curve contains no constant term then it passes through the origin.
For example x2 + y2 + 2ax = 0 passes through origin.
STEP 5: Find out the intercepts.
If we get real values of x on putting y = 0 in the equation of the curve, then the real values of x at
y = 0 give those points where the curve cuts the x-axis. Similarly by putting x = 0, we can get the
points of intersection of the curve and y-axis.
For example, the curve x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 intersects the axes at points ( a, 0) and (0, b).
STEP 6: Find the region in which graph will be drawn.
Write the given equation as y = f(x), and find minimum and maximum values of x which determine
the region of the curve.
For example, for the curve xy2 = a2 (a x),
Now y is real, if 0 < x
STEP 7:

horizontal and vertical asymptotes, if any.

Area under the Curve


STEP 8: Calculate f (x) and f (x), and use these derivatives to determine the critical points, the
intervals on which f is increasing or decreasing, the intervals on which f is concave up or concave
down, and the inflection points. We can use tangents and asymptotes to trace the curve.

Illustration 1: Trace the curve y2 (2a x) = x3


(JEE MAIN)

3
Sol: y = x /(2a x)
..(1)
(i) Origin: Equation does not contain any constant term, therefore, it passes through origin.
(ii) Symmetrical about x-axis: Equation contains only even powers of y; therefore, it is symmetrical
about x-axis.
(iii) Tangent at the origin: Equation of the tangent is obtained by equating to zero the lowest
degree terms in the equation (1).
2ay2 xy2 = x3
Equation of tangent:
Y
2ay2 = 0
y2 = 0
y=0
(v) Asymptote parallel to y-axis: Equation of asymptote is
Tangent
obtained by equating the coefficient of lowest degree of y
2a
to 0.
2ay2 xy2 = x3 or (2a x) y2 = x3
O
X
y=O
Eq. of asymptote is 2a x = 0 or x = 2a
(vi) Region of absence of curve: y2 becomes negative on
putting x > 2a or x < 0, therefore, the curve does not exist
Asymptote
for x < 0 and x > 2a.
Y
Hence the graph of y2 (2a x) = x3 is

(JEE MAIN)
(1)

1. Origin: The equation contains 1 as constant. Therefore it does not pass through the origin.
2. Symmetry: The equation of the curve contains even powers of x and y so it is symmetric about
both x and y axes.
3. Intercepts: On putting x = 0, we get y= 3 the curve passes through (0, 3) and (0, 3). On
putting y = 0, we get x = 2, the curve passes through (2, 0) and (2, 0).
4. Region where the curve does not exist: If x > 2 or x < 2, y becomes imaginary. So the curve
does not exist beyond x > 2 and x < 2.
If y > 3 or y < 3, x becomes imaginary.
So, the curve does not exist beyond y > 3 and y < 3.

PLANCESS CONCEPTS
Problem solving tip: There is no harm in splitting an integral into multiple components while
finding area. If you have any doubt that the integral is changing sign, split the integral at that
point.

3.3 Area of a curve in parametric form


If the given curve is in parametric form say x = f(t), y = g(t), then the area bounded by the curve
with x-axis is
Area =

t1

t2

dx d f(t) f '(t)dt

y dx g(t)f '(t)dt

Where t1 and t2 are the value of t respectively corresponding to the value of a & b of x
It is similar to previous, case-I, as just by putting value of y and x in parametric form, we can get
this case.

3.4 Symmetrical Area


If the curve is symmetrical about a coordinate axis (or line or origin). Then we find the area of one
symmetrical portion and multiply it by the number of symmetrical portions to get the required
area.

5. SHIFTING OF ORIGIN
Area remains invariant even if the coordinate axes are shifted. Hence shifting of origin in many
cases proves to be every convenient in computing the areas.
For example: If we have a circle whose centre is not origin, we can find its area easily by shifting
circles centre.

In this type of question, you will be given area of the curve bounded between some axes or points,
and some parameter(s) will be unknown either in equation of curve or a point or an axis. You have
to find that parameter, just by using methods of evaluating area, we can make equation and solve
it.

7. AREA BOUNDED BY THE INVERSE FUNCTION


It is a nice concept to find area of inverse graph. The most useful property in this scenario is that
the inverse of a function is symmetric about y = x line. Hence area of the function between x = a
to x = b, equals to the area of inverse function from f(a) to f(b).

Sometimes you are given area of a function as a variable function and we have to find the function.
dAax
f(x) with initial condition Aaa 0 i.e.
The area function A ax satisfies the differential equation
dx
derivative of the area function is the function itself. Thus we can easily find f(x) by differentiating
area function.

PLANCESS CONCEPTS
Misconception: If F(x) is integral of f(x) then,
c = F(a)

Aax f(x)dx [F(x) c] Aaa 0 F(a) c

Hence Aax F(x) F(a) . Finally by taking x = b we get, Aba F(b) F(a)

This is true only if the function doesnt have any zeroes between a and b.
If the function has zero at c then area = |F(b) F(c)| + |F(c) F(a)|
