Problem
What is the area enclosed by the graph of ?
Solution 1
If we get rid of the absolute values, we are left with the following 4 equations (using the logic that if , then is either or ):
We can then put these equations in slope-intercept form in order to graph them.
Now you can graph the lines to find the shape of the graph:
We can easily see that it is a rhombus with diagonals of and . The area is , or
Solution 2
You can also assign and to be . Then you can easily see that the diagonals are and . Multiply and divide by to get D. --zoevv
