In the adjacent figure the graphs of two function $y=f(x)$ and $y=\sin x$ are given. $y=\sin x$ intersects, $y=f(x)$ at $A(a, f(a)) ; B(\pi, 0)$ and $C(2 \pi, 0)$ $A_{i}(i=1,2,3)$ is the area bounded by the curves $y=f(x)$ and $y=\sin x$. between $x=0$ and $x=a ; i=1$ between $x=a$ and $x=\pi ; i=2$ between $x=\pi$ and $x=2 \pi ; i=3$. If $A_{1}=1-\sin a+(a-1) \cos a$, determine the function $f(x)$. Hence, determine $a$ and $A_{1}$. Also, calculate $A_{2}$ and $A_{3}$.

Key Concepts

Area Between Curves

This concept involves finding the region enclosed by two functions over a given interval. It is typically computed by taking the definite integral of the difference between the two functions, making sure to account for which function is on top over the interval. The calculation is essential in understanding the net ‘space’ between curves and is used in many problems involving physical areas, cumulative differences, or other applications where two dynamic quantities interact.

Definite Integration

Definite integration is the process of computing the accumulation of a quantity, such as an area, between two bounds. In the context of areas between curves, definite integrals are used to sum up the infinitesimally small vertical differences between the functions across an interval. This concept relies on well?defined limits to yield a numerical value representing the total accumulation over that interval.

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus bridges differentiation and integration by showing that the process of taking an integral can be reversed by differentiation. This theorem is instrumental both in finding antiderivatives and in verifying computations involving areas under curves. In practical problems, it allows one to differentiate an integral expression with respect to a limit or a parameter to retrieve the original integrand.

Determination of Unknown Functions Using Integral Equations

Sometimes a function is not given explicitly but instead is characterized by integrals that involve the function itself. By setting up relationships between the areas under certain curves and given expressions, one can differentiate or manipulate the integral equations to solve for the unknown function. This method often involves leveraging conditions, such as known intersection points or boundary values, to fully determine the function.

Intersection and Continuity Conditions

When two curves intersect, they share the same point values, ensuring continuity at the intersection points. These conditions are crucial when splitting an overall area calculation into sub-areas or when establishing relations between functions across different intervals. Intersection conditions provide the necessary boundary or initial values that can be used to solve for unknown parameters or to confirm the validity of a proposed function.
