Question:

The value of the integral $\int\limits_1^3|x-2| d x$ is:

Options:

2

1

4

5

Correct Answer:

1

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) - 1

$\int\limits_1^3|x-2| d x$

$=\int\limits_1^2(2-x)dx+\int\limits_2^3x-2dx$

$=\left|2x-\frac{x^2}{2}\right|_1^2+\left|\frac{x^2}{2}-2x\right|_2^3$

$=4-\frac{4}{2}-2+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{9}{2}-6-\frac{4}{2}+4$

$=1$
