Integration by vertical strips
•
|
The animation in Figure 5.1.4(a) shows the region shaded in blue, and the graphs of , and in black, red, and green, respectively.
|
•
|
The dotted vertical line passes through through , the intersection of the graphs of and .
|
•
|
As the animation progresses, a yellow vertical strip sweeps through that portion of that lies to the left of the dotted line segment. As the strip passes to the rightmost portion of , its color changes to cyan as a reminder that the lower bound of integration changes across .

Integration by horizontal strips
•
|
The animation in Figure 5.1.4(b) shows the region shaded in blue, and the graphs of , and in black, red, and green, respectively.
|
•
|
The coordinates of point , the intersection of the graphs of and , are
|
•
|
The animation shows a horizontal strip moving through , from point to the line . Its ends remain on the red and green bounding curves, so the integration by horizontal strips can be accomplished by a single definite integral.
