Estimating the Area Under a
CurveAims:
To be able to calculate an estimate for the area under a curve.To decide if this is an over estimate or an under estimate.
To consider ways that we can speed up our method.

Below is the graph of y = 10 – x2
We are interested in finding the area under the curve between
x = 0 and x = 3.

Step by Step1. Sketch the curve with strips drawn on
and x-axis labels.2. Make a table of x and y values.3. Put the y values into the formula:
4. Check your answer is sensible using the calculator.
