Integration and the Area Between Two Curves
The task is to find the shaded area above between the two curvesandwhich intersect at the points I labelled the curves top and bottom. Using this sophisticated notation, the area is
Sometimes it is not quite so obvious what the equation of either the top or bottom curve is.
