Question

How do I take the take the integral of an absolute value?

Answer 1

the integral in geometric means is the area under the curve.
that and absolute value functions are actually piecewise functions in R^2 space

Answer 2

|x| = sqrt(x)^2

Answer 3

|x+1| is equivalent to

-(x+1) x < -1
(x+1) x > -1

Answer 4

\[\int\limits_{-2}^{-1} -(x+1) dx\] + \[\int\limits\limits_{-1}^{1} x+1 dx\] should give you your answer

Answer 5

\[\int (\sqrt{x+1})^2dx\]

Answer 6

alexs might be simpler tho

Answer 7

okay, thanks!

Answer 8

i was thinking derivatives fer some reason ;)
