If R is a region between the graphs of the function f(x)=sinx and g(x)=cosx over the interval [0,pie]
a) find the area of rigion R

In this post, I will solve problem (a), ONLY.
If you plot the graphs of the functions f(x) = sin(x) and g(x) = cos(x) over the interval [0,pi],
you will see that g(x) >= f(x) at 0 <= x <= and g(x) <= f(x) at <= x <= .
Also, you can get it algebraically.
In any case, the area of the region R is the sum of two integrals
area(R) = + .
First integral equals
(sin(x) + cos(x)) from 0 to , which is - 1 = .
Second integral equals
(-cos(x) - sin(x)) from to , which is 1 + = .
After adding the integral values, we get
area(R) = + = = 2.828427 (rounded). ANSWER
Part (a) is solved.
