Question
**5. Use integration techniques to find the area of the region enclosed between the curve \( y = \sqrt{4 - x^2} \) and the x-axis.**

To find the area of the region enclosed by the curve and the x-axis, you will need to:
1. Set up the definite integral, as the area will be the integral of the function \( \sqrt{4 - x^2} \) from its starting point to its ending point on the x-axis.
2. Determine the interval of integration by finding the x-intercepts of the function.
3. Evaluate the definite integral to find the area.
