Correct answer: 1.50

  1. We need to evaluate I=∫02∣ ∣x−1∣−x∣ dx.I=\int_0^2 \left|\,|x-1|-x\right|\,dx.I=∫02​∣∣x−1∣−x∣dx.

  2. Break the interval at the point where ∣x−1∣|x-1|∣x−1∣ changes form, i.e. at x=1x=1x=1.

Case 1: 0≤x≤10\le x\le 10≤x≤1

Here, ∣x−1∣=1−x.|x-1|=1-x.∣x−1∣=1−x. So the integrand becomes ∣(1−x)−x∣=∣1−2x∣.\left|(1-x)-x\right|=|1-2x|.∣(1−x)−x∣=∣1−2x∣. This changes sign at x=12x=\tfrac12x=21​.

So, ∫01∣1−2x∣ dx=∫01/2(1−2x) dx+∫1/21(2x−1) dx.\int_0^1 |1-2x|\,dx = \int_0^{1/2}(1-2x)\,dx+\int_{1/2}^1(2x-1)\,dx.∫01​∣1−2x∣dx=∫01/2​(1−2x)dx+∫1/21​(2x−1)dx. Now, ∫01/2(1−2x) dx=[x−x2]01/2=12−14=14,\int_0^{1/2}(1-2x)\,dx=\left[x-x^2\right]_0^{1/2}=\frac12-\frac14=\frac14,∫01/2​(1−2x)dx=[x−x2]01/2​=21​−41​=41​, and ∫1/21(2x−1) dx=[x2−x]1/21=0−(14−12)=14.\int_{1/2}^1(2x-1)\,dx=\left[x^2-x\right]_{1/2}^1=0-\left(\frac14-\frac12\right)=\frac14.∫1/21​(2x−1)dx=[x2−x]1/21​=0−(41​−21​)=41​. Thus, ∫01∣1−2x∣ dx=14+14=12.\int_0^1 |1-2x|\,dx=\frac14+\frac14=\frac12.∫01​∣1−2x∣dx=41​+41​=21​.

Case 2: 1≤x≤21\le x\le 21≤x≤2

Here, ∣x−1∣=x−1.|x-1|=x-1.∣x−1∣=x−1. So the integrand becomes ∣(x−1)−x∣=∣−1∣=1.|(x-1)-x|=|-1|=1.∣(x−1)−x∣=∣−1∣=1. Hence, ∫121 dx=1.\int_1^2 1\,dx=1.∫12​1dx=1.

  1. Add both parts: I=12+1=32.I=\frac12+1=\frac32.I=21​+1=23​.

  2. Therefore, 32\boxed{\frac32}23​​ which as a decimal is 1.501.501.50.
