Answer

(a) \begin{align} \int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx=1 \end{align} (b) \begin{align} \int_{-1}^{1}f(x)dx=0 \end{align} (c) \begin{align} \int_{1}^{10}f(x)dx=18 \end{align} (d) \begin{align} \int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{5}f(x)dx=\frac{35}{4} \end{align}

Work Step by Step

The given piecewise function is \begin{align} f(x) = \begin{cases} 2x, &\quad x\leq1 \\ 2, &\quad x\gt1 \\ \end{cases} \end{align} (a) \begin{align} \int_{0}^{1}f(x)dx=\int_{0}^{1}2xdx=\big[ x^{2}\big]_{0}^{1} = 1 \end{align} (b) \begin{align} \int_{-1}^{1}f(x)dx=\int_{-1}^{1}2xdx=\big[ x^{2}\big]_{-1}^{1} = 1 - 1=0 \end{align} (c) \begin{align} \int_{1}^{10}f(x)dx=\int_{1}^{10}2dx=\big[2x\big]_{1}^{10} = 20-2 = 18 \end{align} (d) \begin{align} \int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{5}f(x)dx=\int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1}2xdx + \int_{1}^{5}2dx = \big[ x^{2}\big]_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1} + \big[2x\big]_{1}^{5} = 1 - \frac{1}{4} + 10 - 2 = \frac{35}{4} \end{align}
