Find the area of the region bounded by the ellipse \(\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\)
The given equation of the ellipse, \(\frac{x^2}{16}+\frac{y^2}{9}=1\) ,can be represented as

It can be observed that the ellipse is symmetrical about x-axis and y-axis.
∴Area bounded by ellipse=4×Area of OAB
Area of OAB=\(\int^4_0ydx\)
=\(\int^4_03\sqrt{1-\frac{x^2}{16}}dx\)
=\(\frac{3}{4}\int^4_0\sqrt{16-x^2}dx\)
=\(\frac{3}{4}\bigg[\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{16-x^2}+\frac{16}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{4}\bigg]^4_0\)
=\(\frac{3}{4}\)[2\(\sqrt{16-16}\)+8sin-1(1)-0-8sin-1(0)]
=\(\frac{3}{4}\bigg[\frac{8\pi}{2}\bigg]\)
=\(\frac{3}{4}[4\pi]\)
=3\(\pi\)
Therefore, area bounded by the ellipse= 4×3\(\pi\)=12\(\pi\) units.
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.

The representation of the area of a region under a curve is called to be as integral. The actual value of an integral can be acquired (approximately) by drawing rectangles.
Also, F(x) is known to be a Newton-Leibnitz integral or antiderivative or primitive of a function f(x) on an interval I.
F'(x) = f(x)
For every value of x = I.
Integral calculus helps to resolve two major types of problems:
