CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Split at x=1x = 1: ∫01(1−x) dx+∫13(x−1) dx\int_0^1 (1 - x)\,dx + \int_1^3 (x - 1)\,dx.

  2. 12+2=52\frac{1}{2} + 2 = \frac{5}{2}.

Worth noting

32\frac{3}{2} is ∫03(x−1) dx\int_0^3 (x - 1)\,dx, which lets the part below the axis cancel.
