Let y=f ( x ) be continuous and nonnegative on a ≤ x ≤ b, and let R be the region bounded by the
curve y=f (x ), the lines x=a , x=b and the x -axis. The area of the region R is

Horizontal Slicing
Consider the curves x=f ( y ) and x=g( y) with g ( y ) ≤ f ( y) on c ≤ y ≤ d . Let R be the region
bounded between the curves x=f ( y ), x=g( y) and the lines y=c and y=d . The area of R is
d
A=∫ [ f ( y )−g ( y ) ] d y

Volumes
The volume of a prism is
V=A⋅h
where A is the area of the base and h is the height.
V =π ( r 22−r 21 ) h
Average Value of a Function
If f is integrable on the interval [a , b], then the average value of f on [a , b] is
