TopicAreas Between Curves
TypeCurve-Line-Axis Bounded Region
DifficultyStandard +0.3 This is a straightforward area-between-curves question requiring finding intersection points by solving a quadratic equation, then integrating to find the shaded area. All techniques are standard C1/C2 material with no novel problem-solving required, making it slightly easier than average.

\end{figure} Figure 5 shows a sketch of part of the line \(l\) with equation \(y = 8 - x\) and part of the curve \(C\) with equation \(y = 14 + 3 x - 2 x ^ { 2 }\) The line \(l\) and the curve \(C\) intersect at the point \(A\) and the point \(B\) as shown.
  1. Use algebra to find the coordinates of \(A\) and the coordinates of \(B\). The region \(R\), shown shaded in Figure 5, is bounded by the coordinate axes, the line \(l\), and the curve \(C\).
  2. Use algebraic integration to calculate the exact area of \(R\).
