Guida verificata passo dopo passo

Step 1: Identify the region to be analyzed. The region is bounded by the curves y = 2 / (1 + x^2) and y = 1. To find the area, we need to determine the points of intersection between these two curves by solving the equation 2 / (1 + x^2) = 1.
Step 2: Solve the equation 2 / (1 + x^2) = 1 to find the x-values where the curves intersect. Multiply through by (1 + x^2) to eliminate the denominator, resulting in 2 = 1 + x^2. Rearrange to find x^2 = 1, and solve for x to get x = ±1.
Step 3: Set up the integral to calculate the area. The area is given by the integral of the difference between the upper curve (y = 2 / (1 + x^2)) and the lower curve (y = 1) over the interval [−1, 1]. The integral expression is: ∫[−1, 1] [(2 / (1 + x^2)) − 1] dx.
Step 4: Break the integral into simpler parts. Rewrite the integral as ∫[−1, 1] (2 / (1 + x^2)) dx − ∫[−1, 1] 1 dx. The first term involves the integral of 2 / (1 + x^2), which is a standard integral, and the second term is the integral of a constant.
Step 5: Evaluate each integral separately. The integral of 2 / (1 + x^2) dx is 2 arctan(x), and the integral of 1 dx is x. Combine these results and evaluate them at the bounds x = −1 and x = 1 to find the total area.

Definite Integrals

Definite integrals are used to calculate the area under a curve between two points on the x-axis. In this context, the area between the curves y = 2 / (1 + x^2) and y = 1 can be found by integrating the difference of these functions over the interval where they intersect.
