उत्तर
The given function is y = e−x.
When x = 0, y = e−0 = 1
When x increases, the value of y decrease. Also, only when x = ∞, y = 0
So, the required area can be determined by integrating the function from 0 to ∞.
\[\therefore Area = \int_0^\infty e^{- x} dx\]
\[ = - \left[ e^{- x} \right]_0^\infty \]
\[ = - \left[ 0 - 1 \right] = 1 \text{sq . unit}\]
