The area bounded by the curves $y=\cos x$ and $y=\sin x$ between the ordinates $x=0$ and $x=\frac{3 \pi}{2}$ is
  1. $4 \sqrt{2}+2$
  2. $4 \sqrt{2}-1$
  3. $4 \sqrt{2}+1$
  4. $4 \sqrt{2}-2$

Solution

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{4}}(\cos x-\sin x) d x+\int_{\frac{\pi}{4}}^{\frac{5 \pi}{4}}(\sin x-\cos x) d x+\int_{\frac{5 \pi}{4}}^{\frac{3 \pi}{2}}(\cos x-\sin x)=4 \sqrt{2}-2$
