What is the area under #f(x)=x^3-1# in #x in[0,1] #? Calculus Introduction to Integration Integration: the Area Problem 1 Answer anton Sep 18, 2016 #3/4# Explanation: Area is #int_0^1(x^3-1)dx=((x^4)/4-x)# #S=(1^4)/4-1-((0^4)/4-0)=-3/4# "-" because curve is below the x-axis Answer link Related questions How do you find the area of a region using integration?
