Problem

In the coordinate plane, the graph of is a certain curve. Find the length of this curve.
Solution
The only way that the sum of absolute terms can be 0 is if each absolute value term is equal to 0. Thus, From the second equation, or Thus, must satisfy

From the third equation, or Thus, must satisfy or

Finally, from the first equation, Thus, the graph is the line segment joining and . The length of this line segment is
Final answer
\sqrt{2}
