anyone with any answers yet ?
I am assuming top most function has to go on top and most bottom on the bottom?
how to identify top most funciton ?
Look at ur graph
$x^2$ is less than x for x in (0,1). Eg - $(1/2)^2 = 1/4 < 1/2$.

okay yes that is understandable. But what if the value of x is (2)? then $x^2$ would be greater then $x$ . what about then ?
_Lunatically_
Calculate the intersection points of the curves, then figure out which curve goes on top/bottom in that interval
otherwise you could just do rough sketch to figure that out as well
would you give an example , that would make it more easy...if possible.
just take this example:
Solve this equation to get the intersection points between fx and gx:
x^2 = x
solving this gives you the solution.
x = 0 and x = 1
in the interval (0,1) x is always greater than x^2.
therefore that curve will lie on top
sorry idk how to write latex
therefore the integration can be written has int 0 to 1 int x^2 to x dy dx
because dy goes from x^2 at the bottom to x at the top, while dx goes from 0 to 1
