   (a) $\pi$

   (b) $\frac{\pi}{2}$

   (c) $0$

   (d) $\frac{\pi}{4}$

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Add the integral to its $x\to\tfrac{\pi}{2}-x$ image to get $2I=\tfrac{\pi}{2}$, so $I=\tfrac{\pi}{4}$.

   Let $I=\int_0^{\pi/2}\dfrac{\sin x}{\sin x+\cos x}\,dx$. Replacing $x$ by $\tfrac{\pi}{2}-x$ swaps $\sin$ and $\cos$:

   $I=\int_0^{\pi/2}\dfrac{\cos x}{\cos x+\sin x}\,dx$.

   (a) π/4

   (b) π/6

   (c) π/12

   (d) π/2

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Using the property $\int_a^b f(x)\,dx = \int_a^b f(a+b-x)\,dx$, the integral equals its own "partner" integral, so twice the integral equals the length of the interval.

   Let $I = \int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3} \frac{\sqrt{\cos x}}{\sqrt{\sin x}+\sqrt{\cos x}}\,dx$

   Using the property $\int_a^b f(x)dx = \int_a^b f(a+b-x)dx$ with $a=\pi/6, b=\pi/3$, so $a+b = \pi/2$:

   $I = \int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3} \frac{\sqrt{\cos(\pi/2 - x)}}{\sqrt{\sin(\pi/2-x)}+\sqrt{\cos(\pi/2-x)}}\,dx = \int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3} \frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{\sqrt{\cos x}+\sqrt{\sin x}}\,dx$

   Call this second integral $J$. By relabeling, $I = J$.

   ›Reveal solutionSolution

   Use the property $\int_a^b f(x)\,dx = \int_a^b f(a+b-x)\,dx$: adding the original integral to its "flipped" version gives a constant, and by symmetry the two halves are equal.

   Let $I = \displaystyle\int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3} \frac{\sqrt{\cos x}}{\sqrt{\sin x}+\sqrt{\cos x}}\,dx$.

   Here $a=\pi/6,\ b=\pi/3$, so $a+b = \pi/2$. Replacing $x$ by $a+b-x = \dfrac{\pi}{2}-x$, and using $\cos\!\left(\dfrac\pi2-x\right)=\sin x$, $\sin\!\left(\dfrac\pi2-x\right)=\cos x$:

   $I = \int_{\pi/6}^{\pi/3} \frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{\sqrt{\cos x}+\sqrt{\sin x}}\,dx.$

   This is a standard King's-rule property of definite integrals.

   Let $I=\displaystyle\int_a^b x f(x)\,dx$. Using the property $\int_a^b g(x)dx=\int_a^b g(a+b-x)dx$:
