Q. Find the area, AA, of the region between the curve y=2x1+x2y=\frac{2x}{1+x^{2}} and the interval 2x2-2 \leq x \leq 2 of the xx-axis. The area is A=A=\square. (Type an exact answer.)
  1. Determine Integral: Determine the integral to find the area under the curve y=2x1+x2y = \frac{2x}{1 + x^2} from x=2x = -2 to x=2x = 2.
  2. Set up Integral: Set up the integral for the area AA: A=222x1+x2dxA = \int_{-2}^{2} \frac{2x}{1 + x^2} \, dx.
  3. Function Symmetry: Notice the function (2x)/(1+x2)(2x)/(1 + x^2) is an odd function, and the interval [2,2][-2, 2] is symmetric about the y-axis.
  4. Area Calculation: Since the integral of an odd function over a symmetric interval around zero is zero, the area under the curve from 2-2 to 22 is zero.
