Revision Notes — Area

Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Area for JEE Advanced Mathematics preparation.

Key Topics to Revise

1

Area Bounded by Curve and X-axis

  • If f(x) ≥ 0 for x ∈ [a,b], then area = ∫ᵃᵇ f(x)dx
  • If f(x) ≤ 0 for x ∈ [a,b], then area = ∫ᵃᵇ |f(x)|dx = -∫ᵃᵇ f(x)dx
  • When curve crosses x-axis, split integral at intersection points
2

Area Between Two Curves

  • Area = ∫ᵃᵇ |f(x) - g(x)|dx where f(x) and g(x) are two curves
  • Find intersection points by solving f(x) = g(x)
  • Upper curve - Lower curve gives positive area
3

Area with Multiple Intersections

  • When curves intersect at multiple points, split the integral
  • Identify which curve is upper in each subinterval
  • Sum areas of all subregions
4

Special Cases and Techniques

  • Parametric curves: Area = ∫ᵗ¹ᵗ² y(dt/dx)dt = ∫ᵗ¹ᵗ² y(t)x'(t)dt
  • Polar curves: Area = (1/2)∫ᵅᵝ r²dθ
  • Areas involving inverse functions
