∣x∣+∣y∣=1
We know,
|x|=\left\{x,x≥0−x,x<0\right.\therefore|x|+|y|=1 is
\left\{x+y=1−x+y=1x−y=1−x−y=1 for x>0,y>0 for x<0,y>0 for x>0,y<0 for x<0,y<0\right.
If we plot graphs of these equations, we get
The curve is symmetrical about x any y -axis.
∴ Area =4× Area of AOD =4×∫01ydx=4×∫01(1−x)dx=4[x−2x2]01=4[1−212−(0−202)]=4(1−21)=4×21=2$$
