Question:
Evaluate the given integrals.
a. {eq}\int_{-1}^{1} |2x-1|dz{/eq}
b. {eq}\int_{0}^{\frac{3 \pi}{4}} |\cos x|dx{/eq}
Definite Integration:
Consider a function g(x), such that
{eq}g(x) = \int_{a}^{b}\left | f(x) \right |dx {/eq}
To evaluate g(x), we need to find the interval ranging from a to b in which f(x) is positive and negative.
{eq}\displaystyle *\int x^a dx = \frac{x^{a+1}}{a+1} + c \quad \left[ \text{c is the constant of integration} \right] \\ *\int \cos x dx = \sin x + c \\ * \int_{a}^{b} f(x)dx + \int_{b}^{c} f(x) dx + ..... + \int_{y}^{z} f(x)dx = \int_{a}^{z} f(x)dx {/eq}
