To calculate the area between a curve and the \(x\)-axis we must evaluate using definite integrals. First, we need to find out where the curve cuts the \(x\)-axis. Remember, a curve cuts the \(x ...

To find the area under a curve, we have to split the space into very thin strips and look at them individually. Each strip is approximately the same shape as a trapezium, and we use the trapezium ...
