Determine the area bounded by the curves y = cos(x) and y = sin(x) between x = 0 and x = π/4.
Determine the area bounded by the curves y = cos(x) and y = sin(x) between x = 0 and x = π/4.
- A. √2 − 1
- B. √2
- C. 1
- D. 1 − 1/√2
Answer: A) √2 − 1
Explanation: In [0, π/4], cos(x) ≥ sin(x). Area = ∫(0 to π/4) (cos(x) − sin(x)) dx = [sin(x) + cos(x)] = (1/√2 + 1/√2) − (0 + 1) = √2 − 1.
