Area Between Curves

AP Calculus AB· difficulty 3/5

Area between x=y2x = y^2 and x=y+2x = y + 2, integrated with respect to yy:

  • A

    04(x(x2))dx\int_{0}^{4} (\sqrt x - (x - 2))\,dx

  • B

    12(y+2y2)dy\int_{-1}^{2} (y + 2 - y^2)\,dy

    check_circle
  • C

    Same as A

  • D

    12(y2y2)dy\int_{-1}^{2} (y^2 - y - 2)\,dy

Explanation

yy-strips: right curve is y+2y + 2; left is y2y^2. Bounds where y2=y+2y=1,2y^2 = y + 2 \Rightarrow y = -1, 2.
