Question
Find the area between the curves y = x and y = x2.
✓
Answer
The required area is represented by the shaded area OBAO as The points of intersection of the curves, y = x and y = x2, is A(1, 1). We draw AC perpendicular to x-axis. $\therefore$ Area (OBAO) = Area $(\Delta\text{ OCA})$ - Area (OCABO) ...(i) $=\int\limits^1_0\text{x dx}-\int\limits^1_0\text{x}^2\text{dx}$ $=\Big[\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}\Big]^1_0-\Big[\frac{\text{x}^3}{3}\Big]^1_0$ $=\frac12-\frac13$ $=\frac16\text{ units}$
