You will be able to use find the area between two curves
Rather than simply finding the area beneath one curve, in this lesson we wish to find the area bounded by two curves. Let's begin with a few warm-up exercises as a preview of how we will set up some of these problems. No calculus, all algebra. Duration: 5:39
Remember when we first approximated the area beneath a curve by partitioning the region into rectangles? We will do the same thing here to develop a Riemann sum. After taking the limit as n approaches ∞, we arrive at the definite integral representing the area between the two graphs. Duration: 8:27
Now that we have a complete understanding of how use a representative rectangle to generate first a Riemann sum and then a definite integral to find the area between two curves, let's model that process on Example 1. Duration: 5:16
Example 2 gives us another opportunity to compute the area of the region imprisoned between two curves over a given interval. Duration: 3:46
