If f(x)={1−2x,x≤01+2x,x>0f(x) = \begin{cases} 1 - 2x, & x \leq 0 \\ 1 + 2x, & x > 0 \end{cases}, then ∫−11f(x) dx=\int_{-1}^{1} f(x) \, dx =

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Split the integral at x=0x = 0:

∫−10(1−2x) dx+∫01(1+2x) dx\int_{-1}^{0} (1 - 2x) \, dx + \int_{0}^{1} (1 + 2x) \, dx

=[x−x2]−10+[x+x2]01= [x - x^2]_{-1}^{0} + [x + x^2]_{0}^{1}

=(0−(−1−1))+(1+1−0)= (0 - (-1 - 1)) + (1 + 1 - 0)

=2+2=4= 2 + 2 = 4.
