Homework Statement
For the relationship ##|y| = cos(x-y), -\frac {π} {2} ≤ x ≤ \frac {π} {2}##, use calculus and algebra to determine the total area enclosed between the graph and and the x-axis.
Homework Equations
Area between points ##a## and ##b## = ##∫_a^b f(x)dx## given that ##f(x)>0## for ##a<x<b##
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm honestly at a completely loss for this one. I tried solving the equation for x, giving me ##x = arccos(|y|)+y##. However doing this causes me to loose a portion of the graph so I'm not really sure what to do.
