$$\mathrm{A}\:=\int_{−\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{cosx}}−\mathrm{cosx}}\mathrm{dx}\:\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{A}\:=\mathrm{2}\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{1}−\mathrm{cos}^{\mathrm{2}} \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{cosx}}}\mathrm{dx} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{2}\:\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \frac{\mid\mathrm{sinx}\mid}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{cosx}}}\mathrm{dx}\:=\mathrm{2}\:\int_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \:\frac{\mathrm{sinx}}{\:\sqrt{\mathrm{cosx}}}\mathrm{dx}\:=\mathrm{2}\left[−\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\mathrm{cosx}}\right]_{\mathrm{0}} ^{\frac{\pi}{\mathrm{2}}} \:=\mathrm{2}\left\{\mathrm{2}\right\}\:=\mathrm{4} \\ $$
