Let f(x) = |x - 1|, g(x) = [x] and h(x) = f(x)g(x) where [.] is greatest integer function. What is ∫_{-1}^0 h(x) dx equal to?
Answer
The correct answer is A: -3/2. For x in [-1, 0): [x] = -1, |x - 1| = 1 - x (since x - 1 < 0). So h(x) = (1 - x)(-1) = x - 1.
- A.-3/2✓ Correct
- B.-1
- C.0
- D.1/2
For x in [-1, 0): [x] = -1, |x - 1| = 1 - x (since x - 1 < 0). So h(x) = (1 - x)(-1) = x - 1. ∫_{-1}^0 (x - 1) dx = [x²/2 - x]_{-1}^0 = (0 - 0) - (1/2 + 1) = -3/2.
