Introduction

This series would primarily focus on the three fundamental areas of calculus - derivatives, limits, and integration, looking briefly at some of the different concepts to get started with calculus.; thus no prior knowledge of calculus is needed.

This is the third chapter of the second part of the series, and it is about finding the area bounded by multiple curves or lines.

Further content on this topic will be published in separate articles for performance reasons.

So now, let's sit back, relax, and have some fun!

Area Between a Curve and Another Line/Curve

The formula for calculating the area between a curve and a line(or another curve), in the x interval $[a, b]$ is as follows:

Where $y_1$ is the function of the curve/line above $y_2$.

Consider the following region:

In this case, $y_1$ is the function of the curve and $y_2$ is the function of the straight line, since in the required region, the curve is above the line.
