Question
Evaluate the definite integral in Exercise:
$\int^{\pi}_{0}(\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\cos^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2})\text{dx}$

Answer

$\text{Let}\text{I}=\int\limits_{0}^{\pi}\bigg(\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\cos^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}\bigg)\text{dx}$

$=-\int\limits_{0}^{\pi}\bigg(\cos^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}-\sin^{2}\frac{\text{x}}{2}\bigg)\text{dx}$

$=-\int\limits_{0}^{\pi}\cos\text{x}\ \text{dx}$

$\int\cos\text{x}\text{dx}=\sin\text{x}=\text{F}\text{(x)}$

By second fundamental theorem of calculus, we obtain

$\text{I}=\text{F}(\pi)-\text{F}(0)$

$=\sin\pi-\sin0$

$=0$
