Answer

$$1$$

Work Step by Step

$$\eqalign{ & \int_{0.5}^{\left( {\pi + 1} \right)/2} {\sin \left( {2x - 1} \right)} dx \cr & {\text{Let }}u = 2x - 1,{\text{ }}du = 2dx \cr & {\text{The new limits of integration are:}} \cr & x = \frac{{\pi + 1}}{2} \to u = 2\left( {\frac{{\pi + 1}}{2}} \right) - 1 = \pi \cr & x = 0.5 \to u = 2\left( {0.5} \right) - 1 = 0 \cr & {\text{Substituting}} \cr & \int_{0.5}^{\left( {\pi + 1} \right)/2} {\sin \left( {2x - 1} \right)} dx = \int_0^\pi {\sin u} \left( {\frac{1}{2}} \right)du \cr & = \frac{1}{2}\int_0^\pi {\sin u} du \cr & {\text{Integrating}} \cr & = - \frac{1}{2}\left[ {\cos u} \right]_0^\pi \cr & = - \frac{1}{2}\left( {\cos \pi - \cos 0} \right) \cr & = - \frac{1}{2}\left( { - 1 - 1} \right) \cr & = 1 \cr} $$
