The area bounded by the curve ∣−x∣+∣−y∣=2|-x|+|-y|=2 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 4

Since ∣−x∣=∣x∣|-x|=|x| and ∣−y∣=∣y∣|-y|=|y|, the curve is ∣x∣+∣y∣=2|x|+|y|=2, a square with vertices (±2,0)(\pm 2,0) and (0,±2)(0,\pm 2). Both diagonals are 4, so the area is 12×4×4=8\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 4=8 square units.
