3, The X-Axis and The Y-Axis.: M 1520 A.01 S: P W A The Region Bounded by

This document contains 6 practice problems for calculating the areas of planar regions bounded by curves or axes. Each problem provides the bounding curves and outlines an approach for setting up the integral to compute the area, such as using rectangles or estimating limits of integration. Integration techniques like the rectangle rule or estimating areas are used to find approximate solutions or integrals.

Notice, this region could equally well be
handled with horizontal rectangles and
integration with respect to y.

Notice, in this problem we can only
estimate the upper limit of
integration. I used Wolfram Alpha
to get an approximate intersection
point.
