Work Step by Step

Given \begin{aligned} \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{2}(\cos x+|\cos x|) d x\end{aligned} Since \begin{aligned} |\cos(x)|&= \begin{cases}\cos(x)&0\leq x\lt \pi /2\\ -\cos(x)&\pi/2\leq x\leq \pi \end{cases}\end{aligned} Then \begin{aligned} \int_{0}^{\pi} \frac{1}{2}(\cos x+|\cos x|) d x&= \int _0^{\frac{\pi }{2}}\frac{1}{2}\left(\cos \left(x\right)+\cos \left(x\right)\right)dx+\int _{\frac{\pi }{2}}^{\pi }\frac{1}{2}\left(\cos \left(x\right)-\cos \left(x\right)\right)dx\\ &=\int _0^{\frac{\pi }{2}}\left(\cos \left(x\right)\right)dx\\ &= \sin(x)\bigg|_0^{\pi/2}\\ &= 1 \end{aligned}
