What is the purpose of finding the points of intersection of two curves when finding the area between them?

What is the notation for a definite integral?

What is required for the curves when finding the area between them?

The area under a curve can be found using definite integration:
- ∫[a, b] f(x) dx = area under the curve of f(x) from x = a to x = b
- The fundamental theorem of calculus states that differentiation and integration are inverse processes
- The area under the curve can be approximated using rectangles (Riemann sums) and the limit as the number of rectangles increases

To find the area between two curves, we need to find the region bounded by the curves
The region bounded by two curves can be found by:
- Graphing the curves on the same coordinate plane
- Identifying the points of intersection (if any)
- Finding the area under each curve separately and subtracting the area of the lower curve from the area of the upper curve

To find the points of intersection between two curves, we need to set the equations of the curves equal to each other and solve for x
The x-values of the points of intersection can be used as the limits of integration to find the area between the curves
The y-values of the points of intersection can be used to determine which curve is the upper curve and which curve is the lower curve
