How can we evaluate this indefinite integral of a definite integral?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on evaluating the definite integral $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{1-2\sqrt{x-x^2}}dx$. The integral is transformed into $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}\left|\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{1-x}\right|dx$, which is then split into two parts: $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} (\sqrt{1 - x} - \sqrt{x})\ dx$ and $\displaystyle \int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1} (\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{1 - x})\ dx$. The participants clarify that this is indeed a definite integral, emphasizing the importance of correctly interpreting the integral's limits.

Evaluation of Indefinite Integral $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{1-2\sqrt{x-x^2}}dx$

$\bf{My\; Try::}$ We can write the given Integral as

$\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}\sqrt{\left(\sqrt{x}\right)^2+\left(\sqrt{1-x}\right)^2-2\sqrt{x}\cdot \sqrt{1-x}}dx$

So Integral Convert into $\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1}\left|\sqrt{x}-\sqrt{1-x}\right|dx$

Now How can i solve after that , explanation Required.

Thanks

... the successive step is easy...

$\displaystyle \int_{0}^{1} |\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{1 - x}|\ dx = \int_{0}^{\frac{1}{2}} (\sqrt{1 - x} - \sqrt{x})\ dx + \int_{\frac{1}{2}}^{1} (\sqrt{x} - \sqrt{1 - x})\ d x $

Kind regards

This is actually a DEFINITE integral...
