Answer

$$\frac{{\sqrt 3 - \sqrt 2 }}{2}$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int_{\pi /6}^{\pi /4} {\sin x} dx \cr & {\text{integrate by using the basic integration rule }}\int {\sin x} dx = - \cos x + C\,\,\,\left( {{\text{page 692}}} \right) \cr & then \cr & = - \left( {\cos x} \right)_{\pi /6}^{\pi /4} \cr & {\text{use fundamental theorem of calculus }}\int_a^b {f\left( x \right)} dx = F\left( b \right) - F\left( a \right).\,\,\,\,\left( {{\text{see page 388}}} \right) \cr & = - \left( {\cos \frac{\pi }{4} - \cos \frac{\pi }{6}} \right) \cr & {\text{simplifying}} \cr & = \cos \frac{\pi }{6} - \cos \frac{\pi }{4} \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt 3 }}{2} - \frac{{\sqrt 2 }}{2} \cr & = \frac{{\sqrt 3 - \sqrt 2 }}{2} \cr} $$
