Intergration question

Not sure if any can understand what i tried to do.

Thanks in advance. Pictures down below

Sorry i still dont really understand what u mean.

For area under the top branch would i get it from doing the following

Have to say, I'm not entirely clear what you've tried to do with your integration. Perhaps it's this:

I can see one method whereby you can do it with a single integral. Integrate with respect to y (not x), x-value-of-line minus x-value-of curve, between the y coordinates of Q and P.

Failing that, the method suggested by ThomH97 of breaking the area up into various pieces would work. I would mark the various areas on the diagram. as they're not immediately obvious.

U guys were absolutely write thanks for ur help.

I think what got me was that initially i couldnt see the triangle to help with the area under the line.

Thanks again

You're welcome

It is best to try to break things up into bits you know how to do like ghostwalker did, and be on the lookout for triangles (sometimes rectangles) that you can use to make things easier.
