Problem

Let g(x)=∣sin⁡x∣g(x)=|\sin x| on the interval 0≤x≤2π0\le x\le 2\pi. (i) Express g(x)g(x) as a piecewise‐defined function without the absolute value sign over the interval 0≤x≤2π0\le x\le 2\pi. (ii) Obtain a single antiderivative G(x)G(x) that is valid for all xx in [0,2π][0,2\pi] by integrating each piece and stitching the results together so that G(x)G(x) is continuous on the whole interval. (iii) Using the antiderivative found in part (ii), compute G(2π)−G(0)G(2\pi)-G(0) without re‐integrating.
