@hartnn
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk how to break this lol..it is discontinuous at -1 0 1 so how do i put the limits? like we do -1 to 0 ,0 to 1..etc..it cant be done here?
hartnn (hartnn):
yeah correct
-1 to 0 , 0 to 1 , 1 to 2
break it into 3 integras
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[ \int\limits_{-1}^{1}x+1-x-x+1+\int\limits_0 ^1 x+1+x+1-x+\int\limits_1^2x+1+x+x-1\]
is this okay?

\[\left| x+1 \right|=x+1,if x+1>0,or x>-1\]
So in the given interval x+1 is always positive.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\int\limits_{-1}^{1}2-x + \int\limits_0^1 x+2 + \int\limits_1^23x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it okay? @hartnn
hartnn (hartnn):
i think yes, you are correct
hartnn (hartnn):
@surjithayer aso gets the same result as u

\[\left| x \right|=-x,if x<0,\left| x \right|=x,if x>0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\left| x-1 \right|=-\left( x-1 \right),if x<1 and \left| x-1 \right|=x-1, if x>1\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Please don't forget to add dx in each integral.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but m nt getting the ans :S

for 2nd i got 5/2
for 3rd i got 9/2
hartnn (hartnn):
the 1st integral is -1 to 0
not -1 to 1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes i know
hartnn (hartnn):
0- [2(-1)-1/2] = 0 +2 +1/2
how u got 6 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
5/2 sorry :|
