Answer :

Given equations are:

y = cos x …..(i)


x - axis …..(ii)


x = 0 ……(iii)


x = …..(iv)


A table for values of y = cos x is: -



A rough sketch of the curves is given below: -

We have to find the area of shaded region.


Required area


= (shaded region ABOA + shaded region BCDB + shaded region DEFD)


(the area can be found by taking a small slice in each region of width Δx, then the area of that sliced part will be yΔx as it is a rectangle and then integrating it to get the area of the whole region)


(As x is between (0,) and the value of y varies)


(as y = cos x)


On integrating we get,



On applying the limits we get



= 1 - 0 + | - 1 - 1| + 0 - ( - 1) = 4


Hence the area bounded by the curve y = cosx, x - axis and the ordinates x = 0 and x = 2π is equal to 4 square units.
