Summary: In this chapter, we learned about finding the area between two curves. In order to do this, you take the top function minus the bottom function or take the right function minus to left function, depending on where the shaded region is located. You must set up a definite integral by location the regions on the graph. Once the integral and problem is set up, you can plug the function into your calculator. You do this by pressing math 9, entering the function, then inserting: ,x,(lowest integral), (highest integral).

Chapter 6 Section 1 (Definite Integrals)
We can apply definite integrals in our life because the point of definite integrals is to determine the maximum and minimum values of particular functions. This applies to doing things such as finding the amount of material to use in a building, or finding out the profits or loss of something.
