Area Between The Curves - Using the Definite Integral

I will skip the preliminaries of describing the definite integral.
You can use the definite integral to find the area between two curves.
Simply draw the graphs and then determine the region over which you are integrating.

The hardest part is to draw the graphs and identify the region in question. Once you have done that it just becomes a matter of crunching numbers and integrating.
