Quadratic Segments ? ? ? = ? parabola Calculate the areas of the segments 1, 2 and 3 ? ? ? = ? ? ? = ? ? ? ?,?? ? ? ? (Not to scale)
Quadratic Segments ? = ??2+ ?? + ? Let s look at the general case. ? = ? + ? ? ? = ?
Quadratic Segments The area of the segment is given by: area of the trapezium of width ? created by the chord and the ? axis minus area under the curve.

Quadratic Segments Can you explain why the area only depends on ? and ?? Clearly the constant ? is irrelevant since a vertical translation in the ? direction is not going to change the area. Less obvious is the irrelevance of the constant ?. Adding the term ?? applies a vertical shear to the curve ? = ??2, which does not change its area (see Parabola in Parallelogram, SIC_30). So only ? and ? are relevant. The wider the segment (in the ? direction) the greater the area, obviously and the greater the stretch in the ? direction the greater the area.
