- Homework Statement
- find ##\int_0^{0.5π} \frac {sin^2 x}{sin x + cos x}dx##
- Relevant Equations
- integration
my thinking was to have everything changed to a function that has cosine only...
##\int_0^{0.5π} \frac {1-cos^2x}{sin x + cos x}dx##
##\int_0^{0.5π} \frac {(1-cos x)(1+cos x)}{(1-cos^2x)^{0.5} + cos x}dx## ...
first of all is this integration possible? if so then let me know if i am on the right track...chain rule?
