Answer

This is the simplest form of the answer, and it satisfies the requirements of the problem.

Steps

Step 1 :First, we notice that the derivative of \(1 + \cos(t)\) is \(-\sin(t)\), which is present in the integral. This suggests a substitution.

Step 2 :Let \(u = 1 + \cos(t)\). Then, \(du = -\sin(t) dt\).

Step 3 :Substituting these into the integral, we get \(-\int \sqrt{u} du\).

Step 4 :This is a standard power rule integral. The antiderivative of \(u^{n}\) is \(\frac{1}{n+1}u^{n+1}\).

Step 5 :Applying this rule, we get \(-\frac{2}{3}u^{3/2}\).

Step 6 :Substituting back for \(u\), we get \(-\frac{2}{3}(1 + \cos(t))^{3/2}\).

Step 7 :Finally, we add the constant of integration, \(C\), to get the final answer: \(-\frac{2}{3}(1 + \cos(t))^{3/2} + C\).

Step 8 :This is the simplest form of the answer, and it satisfies the requirements of the problem.
