• Consider Using a Function in y rather than a Function in x.

  1. Begin the transition of orientation from y = f(x) and y = g(x) to x = f(y) and x = g(y) by writing the integration using y-limits rather than x-limits.   2. Continue the transition of orientation by rewriting two equations. a. y = f(x) x = f(y) b. y = g(x) x = g(y)   3. Write the integral expression, usually "top" function (furthest from the axis), "bottom" function (closest to axis).   4. Integrate.       work & answers     instructions on integration with respect to x
