Dec 7, 2020 at 18:34 comment added Toby Bartels @GregMartin : The way this drawn assumes that $f(b)>f(a)$ and $g(b)>g(a)$, but that's all (and you can draw similar pictures for the other possibilities). If they're not increasing the whole way, then there will be stuff outside the shaded regions, but it will count both positively and negatively and so cancel. Thus, the shaded regions' areas do equal the stated integrals.
Nov 19, 2015 at 19:16 comment added Greg Martin I guess this proof works only when $f$ and $g$ are both increasing?
