135. Evaluate ∫₀^(π/2) (sin x) / (sin x + cos x) dx in two ways:
(a) By evaluating ∫ (sin x) / (sin x + cos x) dx, then using the Evaluation Theorem.

Start by defining the integral: \(I = \int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sin x}{\sin x + \cos x} \, dx\).
To evaluate the integral directly, consider the integrand \(f(x) = \frac{\sin x}{\sin x + \cos x}\). Find its antiderivative \(F(x)\) by using algebraic manipulation or substitution techniques.
One useful approach is to rewrite the integrand as \(\frac{\sin x}{\sin x + \cos x} = 1 - \frac{\cos x}{\sin x + \cos x}\), which might simplify the integration process.
Integrate each term separately: \(\int 1 \, dx\) and \(\int \frac{\cos x}{\sin x + \cos x} \, dx\). For the second integral, consider the substitution \(u = \sin x + \cos x\), then find \(du\) and express the integral in terms of \(u\).
After finding the antiderivative \(F(x)\), apply the Evaluation Theorem (Fundamental Theorem of Calculus) by computing \(F\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) - F(0)\) to get the value of the definite integral.

Definite Integral and Evaluation Theorem

A definite integral calculates the net area under a curve between two limits. The Evaluation Theorem states that if F is an antiderivative of f, then ∫_a^b f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a). This allows us to find the exact value of the integral by evaluating the antiderivative at the boundaries.

Integration Techniques for Rational Trigonometric Functions

Integrating expressions like (sin x) / (sin x + cos x) often requires algebraic manipulation or substitution to simplify the integrand. Recognizing patterns or using substitutions such as t = tan x or rewriting numerator and denominator can make the integral more manageable.

Symmetry and Complementary Angle Properties in Definite Integrals

For integrals over [0, π/2], using symmetry or the property f(π/2 - x) can simplify evaluation. This approach exploits complementary angles in sine and cosine to relate integrals and sometimes find values without direct integration.

Heat capacity of a gas

Heat capacity 

C_v

is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a given mass of gas with constant volume by 1°C, measured in units of cal/deg-mol (calories per degree gram molecular weight).

The heat capacity of oxygen depends on its temperature T and satisfies the formula

C_v = 8.27 + 10^(-5) * (26T − 1.87T²)

Use Simpson’s Rule to find the average value of C_v and the temperature at which it is attained for

20°C ≤ T ≤ 675°C.
