How to integrate anonymous functions

Hello,
I am trying to integrate my area function A(x) in my code, but it keeps telling me I need to put a "handle" on it. I thought putting bounds would be sufficient, I guess I was wrong. If you can help me, great, below is a a copy of my code. An image of what I am trying to integrate is in the attachments.
Code:
% Calculus way (True Values)
E = 30*10^6;
F = 300;
SLOPE = -0.25/6;
D = @(x) (SLOPE*x)+1; % This is the function of Diameter
A = @(x) (pi/4)*(D(x))^2; % This is the function of Area
True_Area = integral(F/(E*A),0,6)

You cannot combine numbers (F and E) and functions with mathematics operations. You need to create a new function:
True_Area = integral( @(x) F./(E*A(x)), 0, 6);
The @(x) F./(E*A(x)) is this new function.

It seems you understand how to form A(x), from D(x). That is, you knew to use D(x) in there, when you wrote the function handle A. You also know to use the .^ operator.
So why did you forget everything you knew when you wrote the call to integral? :)
True_Area = integral(@(x) F./(E*A(x)),0,6)
True_Area =
0.000101859163578813
You need to form an anonymous function handle, evaluating A(x) inside it. And since you are dividing that into a constant, and since x will be a vector when called by integral, you need to use the ./ operator.
To verify the result:
syms x
D = SLOPE*x+1;
A = (pi/4)*D^2;
True_Area = int(F/(E*A),0,6)
True_Area =
1/(3125*pi)
vpa(True_Area)
ans =
0.00010185916357881301489208560855841
