Integral Calculus – Areas & Volumes

Exercises [ worked solutions included ]

Part I (Qs 1-3) – No calculator allowed

1. Find the area enclosed by the graph

of f  x   4 x  x 2 and the x-axis (the
shaded area in the diagram at right).

2. The diagram at left shows part of the graph of y  sin  2 x  .

Find the area of the shaded region.

3. Find the area bounded by the graphs of the functions g  x   4  x2 and h  x   x  2 .

Part II (Qs 4 & 5) – Calculator allowed

4. Let f  x   x  x  5 for 0  x  6 .
2

The diagram at right shows the graph of f.

Let R be the region enclosed by the x-axis and the graph of f.

(a) Find the area of R.

(b) Find the volume of the solid formed when R is rotated through 360° about the x-axis.

5. The diagram below shows part of the graph of y = cos x for 0  x  2. Regions A and B are shaded.
(a) Write down an expression for the
area of region A.

(b) Calculate the exact area of region A.

(c) Find the total area of the entire shaded

region (regions A & B together).

(d) Find the volume created by rotating

region A 2π radians about the x-axis.
