The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

$\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{4}}_{0}\left(cos \,x - sin\,x\right)dx +\int\limits^{\frac{5\pi }{4}}_{\frac{\pi}{4}} \left(sin \,x - cos\,x\right)dx +\int\limits^{\frac{3\pi }{4}}_{\frac{5\pi }{4}}\left(cos \,x - sin\,x\right) =4\sqrt{2}-2$

Applications of Integrals

There are distinct applications of integrals, out of which some are as follows:

In Maths

Integrals are used to find:

  • The center of mass (centroid) of an area having curved sides
  • The area between two curves and the area under a curve
  • The curve's average value

In Physics

Integrals are used to find:

  • Centre of gravity
  • Mass and momentum of inertia of vehicles, satellites, and a tower
  • The center of mass
  • The velocity and the trajectory of a satellite at the time of placing it in orbit
  • Thrust
