How do you find the total distance traveled on an interval?

Can you please give me an example so I have a better understanding of what you are saying.

A person walks from a point of origin with the position function x(t) = 2 - 2|t - 1|. Find the total distance traveled by the person on the interval 0 ≤ t ≤ 5.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So to find the total distance I have to find where it changes direction right?

Is this Calculus? If so then your first step is to take the derivative. And yes you are correct.
