since you know there is no curvature in the function, because it is an absolute value function, you can just plot it and find the area under the function as a triangle
Since A=1 units^2, the value of the integral must be 1.
Let u = x − 1 ⟹ d u = d x giving ∫ − 1 1 ∣ u ∣ d u = [ 2 1 u ∣ u ∣ ] − 1 1 = 2 1 + 2 1 = 1

∫ 0 2 ∣ x − 1 ∣ . d x = ∫ 0 1 − ( x − 1 ) . d x + ∫ 1 2 ( x − 1 ) . d x ⟹ − [ 2 x 2 − x ] 0 1 + [ 2 x 2 − x ] 1 2 = − ( 2 1 − 1 − 0 + 0 ) + ( 2 4 − 2 − 2 1 + 1 ) = 2 1 + 0 + 2 1 = 1 .
