Evaluate the following definite integral: `int_0^pi(sin^2x/2-cos^2x/2)dx`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Take `I=int_{0}^{pi}(sin ^{2} frac{x}{2}-cos ^{2} frac{x}{2}) d x `
` =-int_{0}^{pi}(cos ^{2} frac{x}{2}-sin ^{2} frac{x}{2}) d x `
` =-int_{0}^{pi} cos x d x `
` Rightarrow int cos x d x=sin x=F(x) `
According to the second fundamental theorem of calculus, we get
`I=F(pi)-F(0) `
` ...
