IB DP Maths: AA SL復習筆記5.4.4 Further Applications of Integration
Negative Integrals
How do I find the area under a curve when the curve is fully under the x-axis?
?
STEP 1
Write the expression for the definite integral to find the area as usual
This may involve finding the lower and upper limits from a graph sketch or?GDC and f(x) may need to be rewritten in an integrable form
STEP 2
The answer to the definite integral will be negative
Area must always be positive so take the modulus (absolute value) of it
How do I find the area under a curve when the curve is partially under the x-axis?
?
- For questions that allow the use of a GDC you can still use
To find the area analytically (manually) use the following method
STEP 1
Split the area into parts - the area(s) that are above the x-axis and the area(s) that are below the x-axis
Exam Tip
- If no diagram is provided, quickly sketch one so that you can see where the curve is above and below the x - axis and split up your integrals accordingly
Worked Example
Area Between a Curve and a Line
- Areas?whose boundaries include a?curve?and a (non-vertical)?straight?line?can be found using integration
- For an?area?under a?curve?a?definite?integral?will be needed
- For an?area?under a?line?the shape formed will be a?trapezium?or?triangle
- basic?area?formulae?can be used rather than a definite integral
- (although a definite integral would still work)
- The?area?required could be the?sum?or?difference?of areas under the curve and line
How do I find the area between a curve and a line?
STEP 1
If not given, sketch the graphs of the curve and line on the same diagram
Use a GDC to help with this step
STEP 2
Find the intersections of the curve and the line
If no diagram is given this will help identify the area(s) to be found
STEP 3
Determine whether the area required is the sum or difference of the area under the curve and the area under the line
Calculate the area under a curve using a integral of the form
Calculate the area under a curve using a integral of the form
STEP 4
Evaluate the definite integrals and find their sum or difference as necessary to obtain the area required
Exam Tip
- Add information to any diagram provided
- Add axes intercepts, as well as intercepts between lines and curves
- Mark and shade the area you’re trying to find
- If no diagram is provided,?sketch?one!
Worked Example
Area Between 2 Curves
- Areas?whose boundaries include?two?curves?can be found by integration
- The?area?between?two?curves?will be the?difference?of the areas under the two curves
- both areas will require a?definite?integral
- Finding points of intersection may involve a more awkward equation than solving for a curve and a line
- The?area?between?two?curves?will be the?difference?of the areas under the two curves
How do I find the area between two curves?
STEP 1
If not given, sketch the graphs of both curves on the same diagram
Use a GDC to help with this step
STEP 2
Find the intersections of the two curves
If no diagram is given this will help identify the area(s) to be found
STEP 4Evaluate the definite integrals and sum them up to find the total area
(Step 3 means no definite integral will have a negative value)
Exam Tip
- If no diagram is provided sketch one, even if the curves are not accurate
- Add information to any given diagram as you work through a question
- Maximise use of your GDC to save time and maintain accuracy:
- Use it to sketch the graphs and help you visualise the problem
- Use it to find definite integrals
