Integral Absolute 53Fdfb
1. The problem is to evaluate the integral $$\int 30|x-1| \, dx$$.
2. Recall that the absolute value function $|x-1|$ can be expressed as a piecewise function:
$$|x-1| = \begin{cases} x-1 & \text{if } x \geq 1 \\ -(x-1) & \text{if } x < 1 \end{cases}$$
3. Therefore, the integral splits into two cases depending on the domain of $x$:
- For $x \geq 1$, $$\int 30|x-1| \, dx = \int 30(x-1) \, dx$$
- For $x < 1$, $$\int 30|x-1| \, dx = \int 30(-(x-1)) \, dx = \int 30(1-x) \, dx$$
4. Compute the integral for $x \geq 1$:
$$\int 30(x-1) \, dx = 30 \int (x-1) \, dx = 30 \left( \frac{x^2}{2} - x \right) + C = 15x^2 - 30x + C$$
5. Compute the integral for $x < 1$:
$$\int 30(1-x) \, dx = 30 \int (1-x) \, dx = 30 \left( x - \frac{x^2}{2} \right) + C = 30x - 15x^2 + C$$
6. Thus, the final answer is the piecewise function:
$$\int 30|x-1| \, dx = \begin{cases} 15x^2 - 30x + C & \text{if } x \geq 1 \\ 30x - 15x^2 + C & \text{if } x < 1 \end{cases}$$
This represents the antiderivative of the given function.
