Find Derivative of H(x): First, we need to find the derivative of H(x) which is h(x).H(x) = ∣∣2x∣∣, so we need to consider the absolute value.
Consider Absolute Value: For x < 0, H(x)=−2x, so h(x)=dxd(−2x)=−21. For x > 0, H(x)=2x, so h(x)=dxd(2x)=21. Since we're integrating from −6 to −2, we only need h(x) for x < 0.
Integrate h(x) from −6 to −2: Now we integrate h(x) from −6 to −2. ∫−6−2−21dx=−21×x∣∣−6−2.
Plug in Limits: Plug in the limits of integration.(−21×−2)−(−21×−6)=1−3=−2.
