Problem Statement

Let f(x)=1xf(x)=1-|x|. Let \begin{align*}f_n(x)&=(\overbrace{f\circ \cdots\circ f}^{n\text{ copies}})(x)\\g_n(x)&=|n-|x| |\end{align*} Determine the area of the region bounded by the xx-axis and the graph of the function n=110f(x)+n=110g(x).\textstyle\sum_{n=1}^{10}f(x)+\textstyle\sum_{n=1}^{10}g(x).
