∫02(∣x∣+∣x−2∣)dx=\int_0^2 (|x| + |x - 2|) dx =

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The integral to evaluate is ∫02(∣x∣+∣x−2∣)dx\int_0^2 (|x| + |x - 2|) dx


For ∣x∣|x| on the interval [0,2][0, 2]:

Since x≥0x \geq 0 throughout [0,2][0, 2], we have ∣x∣=x|x| = x

For ∣x−2∣|x - 2| on the interval [0,2][0, 2]:

Since x≤2x \leq 2 throughout [0,2][0, 2], we have x−2≤0x - 2 \leq 0

Therefore ∣x−2∣=−(x−2)=2−x|x - 2| = -(x - 2) = 2 - x


Substituting into the expression:

∣x∣+∣x−2∣=x+(2−x)|x| + |x - 2| = x + (2 - x)

=x+2−x= x + 2 - x

=2= 2


The integral becomes:

∫022 dx\int_0^2 2 \, dx

=2x∣02= 2x \Big|_0^2

=2(2)−2(0)= 2(2) - 2(0)

=4= 4

Therefore, the value of the integral is 44.
