since cos x must always be positive
it just area under cosine function
so integral
it just area under cosine function

The graph of y = |cos x| over the interval [0, 2pi] is exactly two "humps" of the cosine curve (see picture). So, we just need to integrate over one hump, then double the result:
INT |cos x| dx (from 0 to 2pi)
= 2 * INT cos x dx (from -pi/2 to pi/2, because this would be an interval for one hump)
= 2 * sin x, evaluated from -pi/2 to pi/2
= 2 * [sin(pi/2) - sin(-pi/2)]
= 2 * [1 - (-1)]
= 2 * 2
= 4
INT |cos x| dx (from 0 to 2pi)
= 2 * INT cos x dx (from -pi/2 to pi/2, because this would be an interval for one hump)
= 2 * sin x, evaluated from -pi/2 to pi/2
= 2 * [sin(pi/2) - sin(-pi/2)]
= 2 * [1 - (-1)]
= 2 * 2
= 4
