Exercise · ZW-AREA-BETWEEN-CURVES-005 · ★☆☆ Basic
Find the area between \(y=x^{3}\) and \(y=0\) on \([0,1]\).
Choose one option.
Show answer
- B. \(\frac{1}{4}\)
Explanation
On \([0,1]\) we have \(x^{3}\ge 0\), so the area is \(\int_0^1 x^{3}\,dx=\frac{1}{4}\).
Review the concept: Area between curves
The area between the graphs of \(f\) and \(g\) on \([a,b]\), with \(f\ge g\), is the integral of the difference \(f-g\). If the curves cross, the interval is split at the crossing points.
\[A=\int_a^b\,[f(x)-g(x)]\,dx\]
