Topics in Index Numbers

1

Area Under a Single Curve

  • The definite integral ∫ᵇₐ f(x) dx gives the area under the curve y = f(x) from x = a to x = b
  • If f(x) ≥ 0 in [a,b], then area = ∫ᵇₐ f(x) dx
  • If f(x) ≤ 0 in [a,b], then area = |∫ᵇₐ f(x) dx|
2

Area Between Two Curves

  • Area between curves y = f(x) and y = g(x) is |∫ᵇₐ [f(x) - g(x)] dx|
  • Find intersection points by solving f(x) = g(x)
  • Determine which curve is upper and which is lower in the given interval
3

Special Curves and Their Areas

  • Parabolas: y² = 4ax, area with latus rectum = 32a²/3
  • Circles: x² + y² = r², total area = πr²
  • Ellipses: x²/a² + y²/b² = 1, total area = πab
4

Problem-Solving Strategies

  • Step 1: Identify the curves and region
  • Step 2: Find intersection points
  • Step 3: Determine limits of integration
