Area under curve

The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.
Aristotle (384-322BC) Metaphysica
Our notion of symmetry is derived form the human face. Hence, we demand symmetry horizontally and in breadth only, not vertically nor in
depth.......... Blaise Pascal

Curve tracing :

To find the approximate shape of a curve, the following procedure is adopted in order:

(a) Symmetry :
(i) Symmetry about x  axis:
If all the powers of ' y ' in the equation are even then the curve is symmetrical about the x  axis.

E.g.: y2 = 4 a x.
(ii) Symmetry about y  axis:
If all the powers of ' x ' in the equation are even then the curve is symmetrical about the y  axis.

E.g.: x2 = 4 a y.
(iii) Symmetry about both axis;
If all the powers of ' x ' and ' y ' in the equation are even, the curve is symmetrical about the axis of ' x
' as well as ' y '.

E.g.: x2 + y2 = a2.
(iv) Symmetry about the line y = x:
If the equation of the curve remains unchanged on interchanging ' x ' and ' y ', then the curve is
symmetrical about the line y = x.

E.g.: x3 + y3 = 3 a x y.

(v) Symmetry in opposite quadrants:

If the equation of the curve remains unaltered when ' x ' and ' y ' are replaced by  x and  y respectively,
then there is symmetry in opposite quadrants.

E.g.: x y = c2.

(c) Find dx and equate it to zero to find the points on the curve where you have horizontal tangents.

(d) Examine if possible the intervals when f (x) is increasing or decreasing.

(e) Examine what happens to ‘y’ when x   or x   .

(f) Asymptotes :
Asymptote(s) is (are) line (s) whose distance from the curve tends to zero as point on curve moves towards
infinity along branch of curve.

the area bounded by y = f(x), y = f–1(x), x = 0 and x = 3/2
Sol. We can see that f is continuous everywhere except possible at integral points.
Let n be an integer, the f(n–) = n – 1 + (1)2 = n
f(n) = n
f (n+) = n + (0)2 = n
 f is everywhere continuous, also f(x)    as x  
 Range of f(x) is R, thus onto
and f(x) = n – (x – n)2, for all x  [n, n+1), where nI
 f is monotonically increasing
 f is one-one, thus invertible.
