What is the correlation between x and y?

$x(t)=\begin{cases} 0, & \text{if $t<0$ or $t>1$} \\ 1-t, & \text{if $0<t<1$} \end{cases}$

They say that the correlation between x and itself is different from 0 between $-1\let\le1$ and because of simetry they can split the integral, but I don't understand why it is true or how they have got to these limits.

Thanks very much in advance to all the helpers!
