MCQ
$\int|\text{x}|^3\text{ dx}$ is equal to:
  • A
    $\frac{-\text{x}^4}{4}+\text{C}$
  • B
    $\frac{|\text{x}|^4}{4}+\text{C}$
  • C
    $\frac{\text{x}^4}{4}+\text{C}$
  • none of these.

Answer

Correct option: D.
none of these.
$\int|\text{x}|^3\text{ dx}$
$|\text{x}|=\begin{cases}\text{x},\text{ x}\geq0\\-\text{x},\text{ x}<0\end{cases}$
Case $I:$
When $\text{x}\geq0$
$\therefore\ \int|\text{x}|^3\text{ dx}$
$=\int\text{x}^3\text{ dx}$
$=\frac{\text{x}^4}{4}+\text{C}$
Case $II:$
$\text{x}<0$
$\int|\text{x}|^3\text{ dx}$
$=-\int\text{x}^3\text{ dx}$
$=\frac{-\text{x}^4}{4}+\text{C}$
