5.4 Indefinite Integrals and the Net Change Theorem/43

${\begin{aligned}\int \limits _{-1}^{2}(x-2|x|)dx=\int \limits _{-1}^{0}(x-2(-x))dx+\int \limits _{0}^{2}(x-2(x))dx\\[2ex]&=\left({\frac {1}{2}}{x^{2}}+x^{2}\right){\bigg |}_{-1}^{0}+\left({\frac {1}{2}}{x^{2}}-x^{2}\right){\bigg |}_{0}^{2}\\[2ex]&=0-\left({\frac {1}{2}}(-1)^{2}+(-1)^{2}\right)+\left({\frac {1}{2}}(2)^{2}-(2)^{2}\right)-0\\[2ex]&=\left(-{\frac {1}{2}}-1\right)+\left(2-4\right)\\[2ex]&=-{\frac {1}{2}}-1-2=-{\frac {1}{2}}-3&=-3.5\end{aligned}}$
