We solve given equation as follows to gett the intersection points : In y = x2 putting y = x we have x = x2 or x2 − x = 0 & x (x − 1) = 0 & x = 0, 1 Then from y = x , for x = 0 & y = 0 and x = 1 & y = 1 Curve y = x2 and y = x intersects at point (0, 0) and (1, 1) So, the area bounded by both the curves is y = x2
