Solution:

Required area $=\int\limits_{-1}^{2}\left| x_{1}\right| d y$
image
$=\int\limits_{-1}^{0}\left(-x_{1}\right) d y+\int\limits_{0}^{2} x_{1} d y$
$=-\int\limits_{-1}^{0} y^{3} d y+\int\limits_{0}^{2} y^{3} d y$
$=-\left[\frac{y^{4}}{4}\right]_{-1}^{0}+\left[\frac{y^{4}}{4}\right]_{0}^{2}$
$=\frac{1}{4}+4$
$=\frac{17}{4}$ sq units.
