Applications of Integration

Putting Integration to Work

Integration isn't just an abstract idea—it's a tool for solving real problems!

Common Applications

  • Area Between Curves: Calculate the region trapped between two graphs.
  • Volume of Solids: Find the volume of objects by rotating functions around an axis.
  • Work and Energy: Compute the work done by a force over a distance.

Why It Matters

Engineers, physicists, and even biologists use these applications to design bridges, model populations, and calculate energy needs.

Examples

  • Calculate the area between \( y = x^2 \) and \( y = x \) from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 1 \).

  • Find the volume of a solid formed by rotating \( y = \sqrt{x} \) around the x-axis from \( x = 0 \) to \( x = 4 \).

In a Nutshell

Integration helps you solve practical problems involving area, volume, and more.
