y = sin x on (0, 2π): positive lobe on (0, π) (area 2) and negative lobe on (π, 2π) (area 2); total geometric area = 4 sq. units.
y = sin x on (0, 2π): positive lobe on (0, π) (area 2) and negative lobe on (π, 2π) (area 2); total geometric area = 4 sq. units.

Splitting at x=πx=\pi (where sin⁡x\sin x changes sign), area =∫0πsin⁡x dx+∣∫π2πsin⁡x dx∣=2+2=4=\int_0^\pi\sin x\,dx+\left|\int_\pi^{2\pi}\sin x\,dx\right|=2+2=4 sq. units.

On [0,π][0,\pi], sin⁡x≥0\sin x\ge0 (curve above the xx-axis); on [π,2π][\pi,2\pi], sin⁡x≤0\sin x\le0 (curve below the xx-axis). Area must be taken as positive, so we treat the two parts separately.

Part 1 — over [0,π][0,\pi]:

A1=∫0πsin⁡x dx=[−cos⁡x]0π=−cos⁡π+cos⁡0=−(−1)+1=2.A_1=\int_0^{\pi}\sin x\,dx=\big[-\cos x\big]_0^{\pi}=-\cos\pi+\cos 0=-(-1)+1=2.

Part 2 — over [π,2π][\pi,2\pi]: …
