SUMMARY
The integration of the function sqrt(|x|) requires handling two distinct cases based on the value of x. For x >= 0, the integral simplifies to ∫sqrt(x) dx, which results in (2/3)x^(3/2) + C. Conversely, for x < 0, the integral becomes ∫sqrt(-x) dx, yielding (2/3)(-x)^(3/2) + C. This method effectively addresses the absolute value within the square root by separating the cases.
