The areas of plane figures

If a continuous curve is defined in rectangular coordinates by the equation the area of the curvilinear trapezoid bounded by this curve, by two vertical lines at the

points x=a and x =b and by a segment of the x-axis , is given by the formula

.

In the more general case, if the area S is bounded by two continuous curves and and by two vertical lines x=a and x=b, where when , we will then have:

.

If the curve is defined by equations in parametric form and then the area of the curvilinear trapezoid bounded by this curve, by two vertical lines (x=a and x=b), and by a segment of the x-axis is expressed by the integral

,

where and are determined from the equations and on the interval .

If a curve is defined in polar coordinates by the equation , then the area of the sector AOB (Fig. 2), bounded by an arc of the curve, and by two radius vectors OA and OB,

The arc length of a curve

The arc length s of a curve y=f(x) contained between two points with abscissas x=a and x=b is

If a curve is represented by equations in parametric form and then the arc length s of the curve is

,

where and are values of the parameter that correspond to the extremities of the arc.

If a curve is defined by the equation in polar coordinates, then the arc length s is

,

The volume of a solid of revolution

The volumes of solids formed by the revolution of a curvilinear trapezoid [bounded by the curve y=f(x), the x-axis and two vertical lines x=a and x=b] about the x-axis and y-axes are expressed, respectively, by the formulas:

The Area of a Surface of Revolution

The area of a surface formed by the rotation, about the x-axis, of an arc of the curve y=f(x) between the points x=a and x=b, is expressed by the formula
