Answer

$$3$$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{aligned} \:\int _0^{\frac{3\pi }{2}}\left|\sin\left(x\right)\right|dx\: \end{aligned} Since \begin{aligned} |\sin(x)|&= \begin{cases} \sin(x)&0\lt x\lt \pi\\ - \sin(x)&\pi\lt x\lt 3\pi/2 \end{cases} \end{aligned} Then \begin{aligned} \:\int _0^{\frac{3\pi }{2}}\left|\sin\left(x\right)\right|dx\: &= \int _0^{\pi }\sin \left(x\right)dx+\int _{\pi }^{\frac{3\pi }{2}}-\sin \left(x\right)dx\\ &= -\cos(x)\bigg|_0^{\pi}+ \cos(x)\bigg|_{\pi}^{3\pi/2}\\ &= 2+1=3 \end{aligned}
