(A) Area of the region between a Curve and the x-axis.



Area of the shaded region;  A = a b y d x


(B) Area of the region between a curve and the y-axis.


Area of the shaded region;  A = a b x d y


(C) Area of the region between a curve and a straight line.


Area of the shaded region;  A = a b f ( x ) d x a b g ( x ) d x
