Multiple Choice \(\int_{-4}^{4}(4-|x|) d x=\) \((\mathbf{A}) 0 \quad\) (B) 4\(\quad\) (C) 8 (D) 16\(\quad\) (E) 32

Short Answer

Expert verified
The definite integral from -4 to 4 of the function \(4 - |x|\) is 16, so the correct answer is (D) 16.

Step by step solution

01

Break down the function into its piecewise components

The function \((4-|x|)\) turns into : \(4 + x\) for \(x<0\) \(4 - x\) for \(x>0)
02

Calculate the separate integrals

For \(x<0\), the integral is \(\int_{-4}^{0}(4 + x) dx\). For \(x>0\), the integral is \(\int_{0}^{4}(4 - x) dx\)
03

Evaluate the integrals

Evaluating each integral: The first integral \(\int_{-4}^{0}(4 + x) dx\) = \([4x + 0.5x^2]_{-4}^{0} = 16 - 8 = 8\).The second integral \(\int_{0}^{4}(4 - x)dx\) = \([4x - 0.5x^2]_{0}^{4} = 16 - 8 = 8\).So the total integral is \(8 + 8 = 16\)
04

Verify the answer

Check the given options, and you can find that option (D) 16 is the correct answer to this exercise.
