Question
Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int^\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}_{\frac{-\pi}{4}}|\sin\text{x}|\text{dx}$

Answer

$\int^\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}_{\frac{-\pi}{4}}|\sin\text{x}|\text{dx}$
We know that,
$|\sin\text{x}|=\begin{cases}-\sin\text{x},&-\frac{\pi}{4}\leq\text{x}\leq0\\\sin\text{x},&0<\text{x}\leq\frac{\pi}{4}\end{cases}$
$\therefore\ \text{I}=\int^\limits{\frac{\pi}{4}}_{\frac{-\pi}{4}}|\sin\text{x}|\text{dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\int^\limits0_{-\frac{\pi}{4}}-\sin\text{x dx}+\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_0\sin\text{x dx}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=\big[\cos\text{x}\big]^0_{\frac{-\pi}{4}}-\big[\cos\text{x}\big]^{\frac{-\pi}{4}}_0$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+1$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=2-\frac{2}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{I}=2-\sqrt{2}$
