Work Step by Step

Let \[I=\int_{-1}^{1}\frac{\sin x}{1+x^2}\:dx\] Here \[f(x)=\frac{\sin x}{1+x^2}\] \[\Rightarrow f(-x)=\frac{\sin (-x)}{1+(-x)^2}\] \[\Rightarrow f(-x)=-\frac{\sin x}{1+x^2}\] \[\Rightarrow f(-x)=-f(x)\] $\Rightarrow f(x)$ is odd function We will use the property ,if $f(x)$ is odd function \[\int_{-a}^{a}f(x)dx=0 \;\;\;...(1)\] Using (1) \[I=0\] Hence $I=0$
