Negative Values
for the Definite Integral
If f (x) is positive for some values of x on [a, b] and negative
for others, then the definite integral

b
a
f ( x ) dx
is the cumulative sum of the signed
areas between the graph of f (x) and
the x axis. Areas above the x axis are
positive, and areas below are
negative. In this section we want find
the (unsigned) actual area between a
curve and the x axis or between two
curves. This is never negative!

Area Between Curve and x axis
The area between f (x) and the x axis can be found as follows:
For f (x) > 0 over [a, b] (i.e. f (x) is above the x axis):
Area =

f ( x) dx
For f (x) < 0 over [a, b] (i.e. f (x) is below the x axis):

Area Between Two Curves
Theorem 1. If f (x) ≥ g(x) over the
interval [a, b], then the area bounded
by y = f (x) and y = g(x) for a ≤ x ≤ b
is given by

Computing Areas Using a
Numerical Integration Routine
Suppose we want to find the
area bounded by
f ( x)  e
 x2
g ( x)  x 2  1

Computing Areas Using a
Numerical Integration Routine
Suppose we want to find the
area bounded by
f ( x)  e
 x2
g ( x)  x 2  1
First, we use a graphing calculator to graph the functions f and g
and find their intersection points as in the figure. We see that the
graph of f is bell shaped and the graph of g is a parabola, and
that f (x) > g(x) on the interval [–1.131, 1.131].

Computing Areas Using a
Numerical Integration Routine
Then we compute the area
by a numerical integration
routine on a calculator.

Application:
Income Distribution
The U.S. Bureau of the Census compiles data on distribution
of income among families. This data can be fitted to a curve
using regression analysis. This curve is called a Lorenz
curve.
The variable x represents the cumulative percentage of
families at or below the given income level. The variable y
represents the cumulative percentage of total family income
received.
If we have absolute equality of income (every family has the
same income), the Lorenz curve is y = x.
14
Application
(continued)
For example, data point
(approximately) (0.4, 0.09) in the
table indicates that the bottom 40%
of families receive only 9% of the
total income for all families.

Curve
(0.4, 0.09)
Data point (.6, .26) indicates that
the bottom 60% of families receive
only 26% of the total income, etc.
15
Application
(continued)
If we have absolute inequality of income (one family has all
the income, the rest have none), the Lorenz curve is y(x) = 0
for x < 1, y(1) = 1.
The maximum possible area between the Lorenz curve and the
line y = x is ½, which occurs in the case of absolute inequality.
That is, the area between the Lorenz curve and the line
y = x is between 0 and ½.
The Gini Index is two times the area between the Lorenz
curve and the line y = x. It can take on values between 0 and 1.

Application
(continued)
Gini Index of Income Concentration
If y = f (x) is the Lorenz curve, then
Index of income concentration = 2

A measure of 0 indicates absolute equality. A measure
of 1 indicates absolute inequality.

Example
A country is planning changes in tax structure in order to
provide a more equitable distribution of income. The two
Lorenz curves are:
f (x) = x2.3 currently, and
g(x) = 0.4x + 0.6x2 proposed.
Will the proposed changes work?
