AREA BETWEEN CURVES

AREA BETWEEN CURVES

If f(x) is greater than g(x) for all x between a and b, then the area under the
graph of f(x) minus the area under the graph of g(x) is the area between the
curves. In other words, the area between the curves
and
between

is

If f(x) is greater than g(x) for all x between a and b, then the area under the
