The area (in sq. units) bounded by the curve f\left(x\right) = \left\{\begin{cases}e^{- \left|x\right|} & \left|x\right| ≥ 1 \\ \left|x\right| - 1 + \dfrac{1}{e}& \left|x\right| < 1\end{cases}\right) and thex$-axis is

Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution

Graph of is symmetric about -axis, hence,
Area _{0}^{\iinfty}\left|f\left(x\right)\right|dx
= 2\left[\dfrac{1}{2} \times \left(1 - \dfrac{1}{e}\right)\left(1 - \dfrac{1}{e}\right) + \dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{e} \times \dfrac{1}{e} + e^{- x}dx\right]= 2\left[_{1}^{\infty}\right]=\left[1 - \dfrac{2}{e} + \dfrac{2}{e^{2}} + \dfrac{2}{e}\right] =1 + \dfrac{2}{e^{2}}& sq. units
