AP Calculus AB 8.5 Area Between Curves Question Bank

Practise area-between-curves questions by identifying intersections, choosing top-minus-bottom and evaluating a definite integral.

Exam points

find intersection points that set the bounds of integration
integrate top minus bottom to calculate the enclosed area

Let R be the region in the first quadrant bounded by the x-axis and the graphs of $y=\ln x$ and y=5-x, as

shown in the figure above.

The horizontal line y=k divides R into two regions of equal area. Write, but do not solve, an equation

involving one or more integrals whose solution gives the value of k.
