Hence, the shaded area = (units squared)

Example 2: Find the area enclosed by the curve y = 3x2 – 6xand the x axis.
Firstly we need to find where the curve crosses the x-axis.
0 = 3x2 – 6x
x = 0 or 2
The graph looks like this:
= [ 8 – 12 ] – [ 0 ] = – 4
n.b. The integral is negative, this is because the area lies below the x axis. The actual area is 4 (units squared)
i.e. When y = 0;
0 = 3x(x – 2 )
Now, I = 3x2 – 6x dx2

Since an area below the x axis givesa negative value, care must be takenwhen part of the required regionis above the x axis and part is below.

Area bounded by two curves:
The required area, R, is the area under y = f(x) between x = a and x = b, minus the area under y = g(x) between x = a and x = b.

they can be combined to a single integral:

Firstly we need the two points of intersection, A and B.

x2 – 4x + 5 = 2x
x2 – 6x + 5 = 0
( x – 1 )( x – 5 ) = 0
The required area, R, is the area underthe line, between x = 1 and x = 5, minus the area under the curve betweenx = 1 and x = 5.

Summary of key points:
1. The area, A, bounded by a curve, y = f(x),the x axis and the lines x = a, and x = b, is given by:
b
a
dA xy
2. A region which lies below the x axis gives a negative result for the integral.
3. Care must be taken when part of the required region is above the x axis, and part is below.
