Okay so here’s the thing about calculus and why I never want to do it. It looks super scary when you have no idea what is going on. That was the case for me with 7.2 and finding the area in between curves. Obviously I’m still playing the catch up game from my marking period from hell and I have never been so traumatized by missing math in my entire life. I literally have been putting off everything in my life because I didn’t want to work on learning it because it was stressful (and now I’m treating my reflective learning blog like a diary for christs sake). Looking back that was ( a normal reaction from me for large amounts of stress ) stupid, because I just had to ask for help.
As demonstrated by this photo I took from a random youtube video, the concept of finding the area between curves is really not that bad. To find the area between a curve (in respect to x) on a set interval it’s just the integral of the top curve minus that of the bottom. This changes as it right minus left when the function is in respect to y. Honestly that part that looked really bad on paper but was actually really chill was finding area using sub regions. It’s just two calculations used together to find a total area of two parts.
