SUMMARY
The integral of the function \(\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{\sqrt{\sin x}+\sqrt{\cos x}}\mathrm{d}x\) can be effectively solved using the substitution \(y=\frac{\pi}{2}-x\). This substitution leverages the trigonometric identities \(\sin(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = \cos x\) and \(\cos(\frac{\pi}{2} - x) = \sin x\) to simplify the integral. The discussion highlights the importance of correctly applying these identities to achieve a solution.
