How would I find teh values of a and b for this equation? (limits/integrals) @amistre64 @freckles

Question

studygurl14 · Answer

Use limits to find the area between the curve y = x and teh x-axs from x = 0 to x = 2.

freckles · Answer

it says the limits to use is x=0 to x=2

How would I find the a and b values though? for this $$\int\limits_{b}^{a}$$

freckles · Answer

it gave you them just now x=0 to x=2 !

freckles · Answer

that says the lower limit is x=0
and the upper limit is x=2

studygurl14 · Answer

oh, so does a = 0, or does b = 0?

freckles · Answer

the lower one is 0 because it is lower
the upper one is 2 because it is upper

studygurl14 · Answer

a = 0, b= 2, right?

freckles · Answer

by your picture well it seems like you are defining a to be the upper limit and b to be the lower limit 
so you have it backwards

studygurl14 · Answer

yeah, i switched the a and b values by mistake.

freckles · Answer

anyways let me know if you need further help

studygurl14 · Answer

okay, thnak you

freckles · Answer

this will get a lot funner trust me 
soon you will have to find the lower and upper limit on your own by finding the intersections
