Answer

$$\int_{0}^{\pi} f(x) d x =0$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$\int_{0}^{\pi} f(x) d x \quad \text { where } f(x)= \begin{cases}\sin x & \text { if } 0 \leqslant x\lt\pi / 2 \\ \cos x & \text { if } \pi / 2 \leqslant x \leqslant \pi\end{cases}$$ Since \begin{aligned} \int_{0}^{\pi} f(x) d x &=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \sin x d x+\int_{\pi / 2}^{\pi} \cos x d x\\ &=(-\cos x)\bigg|_{0}^{\pi / 2}+(\sin x)\bigg|_{\pi / 2}^{\pi}\\ &=-\cos( \frac{\pi}{2})+\cos( 0)+\sin (\pi)-\sin( \frac{\pi}{2}) \\ &=-0+1+0-1\\ &=0 \end{aligned}
