Area bounded by the curves y=x∣x∣y = x|x|, x=−1x = -1, x=1x = 1 is

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

For x≥0x\ge0 the curve is y=x2y=x^2 and for x<0x<0 it is y=−x2y=-x^2, so the two pieces are mirror images about the origin. Each encloses area ∫01x2dx=13\int_0^1x^2dx=\frac13 with the xx-axis, and taking the modulus of the negative part the total area is 23\frac23.
