Application Of Integrals — Syllabus & Topics

Topics covered in Application Of Integrals for SRMJEE Mathematics.

Topics in Application Of Integrals

1

Area Under Simple Curves

  • Area under a curve y = f(x) from x = a to x = b is given by ∫[a to b] f(x) dx
  • Area under a curve x = f(y) from y = c to y = d is given by ∫[c to d] f(y) dy
  • When function goes below x-axis, take absolute value to get positive area
2

Area Between Two Curves

  • Area between y = f(x) and y = g(x) is ∫[a to b] |f(x) - g(x)| dx
  • Always subtract lower function from upper function
  • Find intersection points to determine correct limits
3

Special Cases and Important Results

  • Area enclosed by parabola y² = 4ax and x² = 4by is (16ab)/3
  • Area between parabola y² = 4ax and line y = mx is (8a²)/(3m³)
  • Area of ellipse x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 is πab
4

Problem-Solving Strategies

  • Step 1: Sketch the curves to visualize the region
  • Step 2: Find intersection points by solving equations simultaneously
  • Step 3: Determine which function is upper/lower in each interval
