Area bounded by curve x = g(y), the y-axis, and lines y=c, y=d is given by:

Answer: Integral of x dy from c to d.

  • A Integral of x dy from c to d
  • B Integral of y dx from c to d
  • C g(d) - g(c)
  • D Integral of g(y) dy from 0 to 1

Correct answer: A. Integral of x dy from c to d

Explanation: When integrating with respect to y, area = integral from c to d of x dy = integral from c to d of g(y) dy.

Area Under a Curve = Definite Integralxyx=ax=bArea = ∫ₐᵇ f(x)dx

The definite integral ∫ₐᵇf(x)dx computes the exact area of the shaded region bounded by the curve, the x-axis, and the vertical lines x=a and x=b - the same idea behind the Riemann sum, but evaluated exactly rather than approximated by rectangles.

Concept context

Using definite integrals to compute the area under a curve, the area between two curves, and the areas enclosed by standard curves like circles, parabolas, and ellipses.
