Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(-4\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The integrand is \(f(x) = \dfrac{|x-3|}{x-3}\). Recall the definition of the absolute value function: \(|x-3| = x-3\) if \(x-3 > 0\) (i.e., \(x > 3\)) and \(|x-3| = -(x-3)\) if \(x-3 < 0\) (i.e., \(x < 3\)). For the interval \([-2, 2]\), we have \(x < 3\) for all \(x\) in the…
