Module 10 – Application of Integration: Planes Areas

Exercises 10.1

1. Find the area of the region to the left of the parabola and to the right of the y-axis.

Solution:

As shown above, use a horizontal strip whose length and width are and , respectively.
Moving it from the negative -intercept to the positive -intercept will fill the Area required. Thus:

To solve for the y-intercept, let .

Therefore the limit is from to .

But, . Thus:

But . Therefore:

2. Find the area bounded by the curve , the x-axis and the lines and .

Solution:

As shown above, use a vertical strip whose length and width are and , respectively.

Moving it from to will fill the Area required.

Therefore the limit is from 1 to 2:

But, . Thus:

But , therefore:

3. Find the area between the parabola and the line .

Solution:
As shown above, use a horizontal strip whose length and width are and , respectively.
Moving it from and to the point of intersections of the curve the line, the Area required will be formed.
Hence, the limit is the point of intersection of the curve and the line.
Solve for the point of intersections using substitution:

If , then
If , then
Therefore the lower limit is and the upper limit is . Thus:

But, . Thus:

But , therefore:

4. Find the area between the parabolas and .

Solution:

As shown above, use a vertical strip whose length and width are and , respectively. Moving
it from and to the point of intersections of the two curves given, the Area required will be formed.
Hence, the limit is the point of intersection of the two curves.

Solve for the point of intersections by equation both values of :

Therefore the lower limit is and the upper limit is . Thus:

But, . Thus:

But, , therefore:
