If 0 a b , then _a^b |x| x d x is equal to
Options
- A| b |-| a |
- B| a |-| b |
- C| b | | a |
- D0
Correct answer
A. | b |-| a |
Step-by-step solution
aligned & _a^b |x| x d x & when x 0 & _a^b x x d x & _a^b(1) d x & =[x]_a^b & =|b|-|a| & when x 0 ; as 0 a b ; x will not lie between a and b & so & b a |x| x d x=0 for x 0 & a aligned
