Integration help..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{-1}^{2} |x+1|+|x|+|x-1|dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left| x+1 \right|=x+1,if x+1>0,or x>-1\] 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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\left| x \right|=-x,if x<0,\left| x \right|=x,if x>0\]

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the answer. I think you are doing well.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got 3+9/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh no wait

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for first integral i got 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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 :|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/2+7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

19/2 thanks !

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^
