I want to know how the area between two curves can be determined,do i just multiply the functions and then equate everything to 0,so i can get the limits,and the integrate the multiplied function within those limits
NO, you don't "multiply the functions" OR "equate everything to 0"! I wonder where you would have gotten the idea that you should multiply the two functions. The limits of integration are the values of x where the area "ends"- where the two curves intersect. To find where the curves y= f(x) and y= g(x) intersect, solve y= f(x)= g(x).mathelord said:I want to know how the area between two curves can be determined,do i just multiply the functions and then equate everything to 0,so i can get the limits,and the integrate the multiplied function within those limits
An area problem is a mathematical problem that involves finding the area of a shape or surface. This can include calculating the area of a two-dimensional shape, such as a square or circle, or the surface area of a three-dimensional object, such as a cube or sphere.
To solve an area problem, you need to know the formula for finding the area of the specific shape or surface in question. This formula typically involves multiplying certain measurements, such as length and width, or using special functions for more complex shapes. Once you have the formula, you can plug in the given measurements and calculate the area.
Perimeter is the distance around the edge of a shape, while area is the measure of the surface inside the shape. Perimeter is typically measured in linear units, such as inches or centimeters, while area is measured in square units, such as square inches or square centimeters.
No, different shapes have different formulas for finding their areas. Some shapes, like squares and rectangles, have simple formulas that involve multiplying their length and width, while other shapes, like circles and triangles, have more complex formulas that involve using special functions.
Finding the area of a three-dimensional object, also known as surface area, involves calculating the total area of all the surfaces that make up the object. This can include finding the area of each face of a cube or the curved surface of a cylinder. In contrast, finding the area of a two-dimensional shape only involves calculating the area of a single surface.
