Based on the following given information answer the question

Consider the function f(x)=x∣x∣f(x) = x|x|, x∈Rx \in R.

The region bounded by curve y=x∣x∣y = x|x|, x-axis and lines x=±1x = \pm 1 is best represented graphically by :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

y=x∣x∣=x2y = x|x| = x^2 for x≥0x \geq 0 (above x-axis) and y=−x2y = -x^2 for x<0x < 0 (below x-axis).

So the curve is in the third quadrant for x<0x < 0 and first quadrant for x>0x > 0, passing through the origin.

The graph showing this odd-function shape with shading between x=−1x = -1 and x=1x = 1 matches option 3.
