Find the area bounded between
a) f(x) = 1/x and g(x) = x^2 on the interval [1,3]
b) f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x and x-axis on the interval [1,2]
c) f(x) = sinx and g(x) = cosx on the interval from 0 to the first intersection point on the positive axis.

I am not going to TAKE these integrals for you or instead of you.
I will only EXPLAIN to you how to do it.

Find the area bounded between 
a)  f(x) = 1/x and g(x) = x^2 on the interval [1,3] 

    The area is equal to the integral of the difference    on the interval [1,3].





Plot y =  (red) and y =  (green)



b)  f(x) = x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x and x-axis on the interval [1,2]

    The area is equal to the integral of  -f(x) =   on the interval [1,2].





Plot y = 



c)  f(x) = sinx and g(x) = cosx on the interval from 0 to the first intersection point on the positive axis.


    Make a plot.

    Find the intersection point. 

    It is the root of the equation sin(x) = cos(x),  which is tan(x) = 1  or  x = .

    The area is the integral of the difference  cos(x) - sin(x)  from 0 to .
