sin⁡x\sin x is non-negative on [0,π][0,\pi], non-positive on [π,2π][\pi,2\pi], non-negative again on [2π,3π][2\pi,3\pi], and non-positive on [3π,4π][3\pi,4\pi]. By periodicity, the unsigned area of each of these four half-period humps is the same as the single hump computed in the chapter's worked example (Fig. 5.10), namely 22 square units:

∣∫0πsin⁡x dx∣=∣∫π2πsin⁡x dx∣=∣∫2π3πsin⁡x dx∣=∣∫3π4πsin⁡x dx∣=2\left|\int_0^\pi \sin x\,dx\right| = \left|\int_\pi^{2\pi}\sin x\,dx\right| = \left|\int_{2\pi}^{3\pi}\sin x\,dx\right| = \left|\int_{3\pi}^{4\pi}\sin x\,dx\right| = 2

Total area =2+2+2+2=8= 2+2+2+2 = 8 square units.

✓Final answer

88 sq. units
