Solution & Explanation
Core Logic
We have two functional equations to solve before integrating.
Functional equations involving x → (1)/(x)$x \to \frac{1}{x}$ are easily solved by treating the swapped forms as a system of linear equations, allowing direct isolation of the underlying function.

Core Logic
Analyze intersection points between y₁ = |x|$y_1 = |x|$ and y₂ = x|x-2|$y_2 = x|x-2|$ across required integration span regions:
For x in [-2, 0]$x \in [-2, 0]$: |x| = -x$|x| = -x$ and x|x-2| = -x(2-x) = x² - 2x$x|x-2| = -x(2-x) = x^2 - 2x$. Max curve tracks through distinct segments.
For positive sectors, compute intersections: x = x(2-x) x = 1$x = x(2-x) \implies x = 1$ or x=0$x=0$. Also check switch locations where graphs swap dominance.
Step 1: Setting up separate area integral blocks
Using geometric area partitions calculated across continuous regions [cite: 1495]:
Area = (1)/(2) × 2 × 2 + (1)/(2) × 3 × 3 + (1)/(2) × 1 × 11 = 12$$\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 2 \times 2 + \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 3 + \frac{1}{2} \times 1 \times 11 = 12$$ [cite: 1495]
Alternatively, splitting the boundary metrics via continuous definite limits yields identical whole tracking blocks matching exactly to 12 total units[cite: 1495].
Comparing this directly with the given answer format, we identify:
m = 360$m = 360$
n = 19$n = 19$
Computing m + n$m + n$:
m + n = 360 + 19 = 379$$m + n = 360 + 19 = 379$$
Pattern Recognition
Expressions containing conjugate factors like √(1+x²) ± x$\sqrt{1+x^2} \pm x$ frequently simplify under rationalization because their product equals 1. This dynamic quickly reduces fractional components into single power blocks.

The value of ∫₋₁¹ (1 + √(|x| - x))e^x + (√(|x| - x))e-xe^x + e-x dx$\int_{-1}^{1}\frac{\left(1 + \sqrt{|x| - x}\right)e^x + \left(\sqrt{|x| - x}\right)e^{-x}}{e^x + e^{-x}} \, \mathrm{d}x$ is equal to
We need to find the intersection points of the curves to understand the x+7, 11-3x$\min\{x+7, 11-3x\}$ boundary transition:
x+7 = 11-3x 4x = 4 x = 1$x+7 = 11-3x \implies 4x = 4 \implies x = 1$.
Hence, the line switches behavior at x=1$x=1$.
Intersecting 1+x²$1+x^2$ with x+7$x+7$:
x² - x - 6 = 0 (x-3)(x+2) = 0 x = -2 or x = 3$$x^2 - x - 6 = 0 \implies (x-3)(x+2) = 0 \implies x = -2 \quad \text{or} \quad x = 3$$
Intersecting 1+x²$1+x^2$ with 11-3x$11-3x$:
x² + 3x - 10 = 0 (x+5)(x-2) = 0 x = 2 or x = -5$$x^2 + 3x - 10 = 0 \implies (x+5)(x-2) = 0 \implies x = 2 \quad \text{or} \quad x = -5$$

Step 1: Set up Integrals
The transition points show that from x = -2$x = -2$ to 1$1$, the upper line is x+7$x+7$, and from x = 1$x = 1$ to 2$2$, the upper line is 11-3x$11-3x$.
When a boundary contains a $\min\{\}$ or $\max\{\}$ component, always solve for their internal intersection first to identify the exact splitting point of your definite integrals.
