Chapter 6.1 - Area of a Region Between Two Curves

Objectives:

• Find the area of a region between two curves using integration.
• Find the area of a region between intersecting curves using integration.

Area Between Curves (for Day #63 lesson)

Rather than just find the area under a single curve, we find the area of a region bound between two curves. Although this will likely be intuitive in some ways, a common pitfall is addressed in these exercises.

Here's a Area Between Curves handout that may be distributed in class, including solutions.
