Answer

$\dfrac{40}{3}$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $I=\int_0^{4} |-3x+4| \ dx$ In order to solve the above integral, we will use the following formula such as: $\int |ax+b| \ dx=\dfrac{1}{2a}(ax+b)|ax+b|+C$ Now, we have $I=[\dfrac{1}{(2)(-3)} (-3x+4)|-3x+4|]_0^4 $ or, $=-\dfrac{1}{6}[(-3x+4)|-3x+4|]_0^4 $ or, $=-\dfrac{1}{6}[(-3(4)+4)|-3(4)+4|]-\dfrac{1}{6}[(-3(4)+4)|-3(4)+4|]$ or, $=-\dfrac{1}{6}(-64-16)$ or, $=\dfrac{40}{3}$
