![=∫_0 ^(π/4) (cosx−sinx)dx+∫_(π/4) ^(π/2) (sinx−cosx)dx =[sinx+cosx]_0 ^(π/4) +[−cosx−sinx]_(π/4) ^(π/2) = (√2)−1+(−1+(√2)) =2(√2)−2 =2((√2)−1)](https://www.tinkutara.com/question/Q152093.png)
$$=\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}} \left({cosx}−{sinx}\right){dx}+\int_{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \left({sinx}−{cosx}\right){dx} \\ $$$$=\left[{sinx}+{cosx}\right]_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}} +\left[−{cosx}−{sinx}\right]_{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{4}}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \\ $$$$=\:\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}−\mathrm{1}+\left(−\mathrm{1}+\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}\right) \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}−\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}\left(\sqrt{\mathrm{2}}−\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$
