EXAMPLE 5 Find the area of the region bounded by the curves y = sin(x), y = cos(x), x = 0, and x = 7/2.
SOLUTION The points of intersection occur when sin(x) = cos(x), that is, when x =
(since
0sxs n/2). The region is sketched in the figure. Observe that cos(x) > sin(x) when
, but sin(x) 2 cos(x) when
Therefore the
required area is
