Question

(a) Draw two typical curves y = f (x) and y = g(x) , where f(x)  ≥ g(x)
for a ≤x ≤b . Show how to approximate
the area between these curves by a Riemann sum and
sketch the corresponding approximating rectangles.
Then write an expression for the exact area.
(b) Explain how the situation changes if the curves have
equations x = f(y) and x = g(y) , where f(y)  ≥ g(y)
for  c  ≤y  ≤d .
