Area under curve by integration method
Brief note on definite integrals Definite integrals are used to find the area under the given limits ‘a’ and ‘b’ for a differential derivative function. Though many rules are there to determine definite integrals for every specific function, basic algebraic function is given. For example, if ‘y’ as a function of ‘x’ or f(x) is given as, where ‘a’ is lower limit, ‘b’ is upper limit and n ≠ –1. Find the definite integral between the limits 1 to 4 for the function: y = 2x 2 + 3x. On solving this, the value is 64.5. Now applying this concept to find the area under a curve. The given data (x and y) and the corresponding curve is given below: x y 0.0 0.000 0.1 0.146 0.2 0.284 0.3 0.414 0.4 0.536 0.5 0.650 0.6 0.756 0.7 0.854 0.8 0.944 0.9 1.026 1.0 1.100 1.1 1.166 1.2 1.224 1.3 1.274 1.4 1.316 1.5 1.350 1.6 1.376 1.7 1.394 1.8 1.404 1.9 1.
