The modulus function, x, strips x of its sign, e.g.

5=5, 3=3 and =.

For positive values of x, the modulus function has no effect, since x=x, but for negative x the modulus function changes the sign of x, i.e. x=x (remember that x is negative and therefore x is positive).

If we draw a graph of y=x it will consist of two parts. For x0 we have y=x, and for x0 we have y=x.

The value of the integral is the area of the region under the graph y=x and between x=1 and x=2.

This region consists of two triangles and we therefore obtain

21xdx=2111+2122=25.
