Question
Find the area between the curves y = x and y = x2.

Answer

The required area is represented by the shaded area OBAO as

The points of intersection of the curves, y = x and y = x2, is A(1, 1).
We draw AC perpendicular to x-axis.
$\therefore$ Area (OBAO) = Area $(\Delta\text{ OCA})$ - Area (OCABO) ...(i)
$=\int\limits^1_0\text{x dx}-\int\limits^1_0\text{x}^2\text{dx}$
$=\Big[\frac{\text{x}^2}{2}\Big]^1_0-\Big[\frac{\text{x}^3}{3}\Big]^1_0$
$=\frac12-\frac13$
$=\frac16\text{ units}$
