Correct answer: D
- Given curves
We need the area bounded by and
- Write both curves piecewise
For :
\begin{cases} 1-x, & x<1,\\ x-1, & x\ge 1. \end{cases}$$ For $$y=3-|x|$$: $$3-|x|= \begin{cases} 3+x, & x<0,\\ 3-x, & x\ge 0. \end{cases}$$ 3. **Find points of intersection** We solve $$|x-1|=3-|x|.$$ Consider intervals. - **Case 1:** $$x<0$$ $$|x-1|=1-x, \quad 3-|x|=3+x.$$ So, $$1-x=3+x$$ $$-2=2x$$ $$x=-1.$$ Then $$y=|{-1}-1|=2.$$ Intersection point: $$(-1,2).$$ - **Case 2:** $$0\le x<1$$ $$|x-1|=1-x, \quad 3-|x|=3-x.$$ So, $$1-x=3-x,$$ which gives $$1=3$$, impossible. No intersection here. - **Case 3:** $$x\ge 1$$ $$|x-1|=x-1, \quad 3-|x|=3-x.$$ So, $$x-1=3-x$$ $$2x=4$$ $$x=2.$$ Then $$y=|2-1|=1.$$ Intersection point: $$(2,1).$$ So the bounded region lies between $$x=-1$$ and $$x=2$$. 4. **Determine which curve is above** Take a test point, say $$x=0$$: $$|0-1|=1, \qquad 3-|0|=3.$$ So $$y=3-|x|$$ is above $$y=|x-1|$$ in the region. Hence area is $$A=\int_{-1}^{2}\Big[(3-|x|)-|x-1|\Big]dx.$$ 5. **Split according to critical points** Critical points are $$x=0$$ and $$x=1$$. So, $$A=\int_{-1}^{0}\big[(3+x)-(1-x)\big]dx+\int_{0}^{1}\big[(3-x)-(1-x)\big]dx+\int_{1}^{2}\big[(3-x)-(x-1)\big]dx.$$ Simplify each integrand: - On $$[-1,0]$$: $$ (3+x)-(1-x)=2+2x. $$ - On $$[0,1]$$: $$ (3-x)-(1-x)=2. $$ - On $$[1,2]$$: $$ (3-x)-(x-1)=4-2x. $$ Thus, $$A=\int_{-1}^{0}(2+2x)dx+\int_{0}^{1}2\,dx+\int_{1}^{2}(4-2x)dx.$$ 6. **Evaluate the integrals** First, $$\int_{-1}^{0}(2+2x)dx=\left[2x+x^2\right]_{-1}^{0}=0-(-2+1)=1.$$ Second, $$\int_{0}^{1}2\,dx=2.$$ Third, $$\int_{1}^{2}(4-2x)dx=\left[4x-x^2\right]_{1}^{2}=(8-4)-(4-1)=4-3=1.$$ Therefore, $$A=1+2+1=4.$$ 7. **Final answer** The area bounded by the curves is $$\boxed{4\text{ sq. units}}.$$ So the correct option is **D**.More from Area Under the Curves
