PLANE AREAS BY
INTEGRATION
𝐴 ≈ ∑ 𝑓 (𝑥𝑖 ). ∆(𝑥𝑖 )
𝑖=1
In order emphasize that the sum extends over the interval [𝑎, 𝑏], the sum is
written as
𝑥=𝑎
𝐴 ≈ ∑ 𝑓 (𝑥 ). ∆ ( 𝑥 )
𝑥=𝑏
𝐴 = lim ∑ 𝑓 (𝑥 ). ∆𝑥
∆𝑥→0
𝑥=𝑏

Solved Exercises:
1. Find the area in the first quadrant bounded by 𝑦 = 4𝑥 − 𝑥 2 and the 𝑥-axis.
A. Intercepts
When 𝑦 = 0, 0 = 𝑥 (4 − 𝑥 ); 𝑥 = 0, 4
when 𝑥 = 0, 𝑦 = 0
B. Determine the vertex of the parabola
𝑦 = 4𝑥 − 𝑥 2 ; 𝑦 − 4 = −(𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 4)
𝑦 − 4 = −(𝑥 − 2)2
Hence, vertex is the point (2, 4).
