(a) Draw two typical curves \(y=f(x)\) and \(y=g(x)\), where \(f(x) \geqslant g(x)\) for \(a \leqslant x \leqslant b\) Show how to approximate the area between these curves by a Riemann sum and sketch the corresponding approximating rectangles. Then write an expression for the exact area. (b) Explain how the situation changes if the curves have equations \(x=f(y)\) and \(x=g(y)\), where \(f(y) \geqslant g(y)\) for \(c \leqslant y \leqslant d\).

(a) The area of \(\mathscr{R}\)
(b) The volume obtained by rotating \(\mathscr{R}\) about the \(x\)-axis

Solution
The first step in solving 6 problem number trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let \(\mathscr{R}\) be the region in the first quadrant bounded by the curves \(y=x^{3}\) and \(y=2 x-x^{2}\). Calculate the following quantities.(a) The area of \(\mathscr{R}\)(b) The volume obtained by rotating \(\mathscr{R}\) about the \(x\)-axis(c) The volume obtained by rotating \(\mathscr{R}\) about the \(y\)-axis
From the textbook chapter Applications of Integration you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
