What to Focus On
- dA = y dx is the elementary area of a thin vertical strip.
- A = \int_a^b f(x) dx gives the area under y = f(x) between x = a and x = b.
- A = \int_c^d g(y) dy gives the area when the curve is written as x = g(y).
- Negative definite integral does not mean negative geometric area.
- For a curve below the x-axis, take the absolute value.
- For a curve partly above and partly below the x-axis, split the interval.
- The circle x^2 + y^2 = a^2 is symmetric about both axes.
- Total area = 4 times the first-quadrant area.
- Using vertical strips: y = \sqrt{a^2 - x^2}.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Area under a curve is always given by directly integrating the function from left endpoint to right endpoint.
If a curve crosses the x-axis, the positive and negative parts cancel out and the net integral is the area.
For area under x = g(y), the integral should still be taken with respect to x.
Memory Tips
Area under curve using vertical strips
Area under curve using horizontal strips
Negative area below the x-axis
Composite area when curve crosses the x-axis
