Steps

Step 1 :Given the function f(x) which is defined as sin(x) for 0x<π2 and cos(x) for π2xπ, we are asked to evaluate the integral of f(x) from 0 to π.

Step 2 :We can split the integral into two parts, one for each condition of the function. The first integral will be from 0 to π2 of sin(x) and the second integral will be from π2 to π of cos(x).

Step 3 :The integral of sin(x) from 0 to π2 is 1.

Step 4 :The integral of cos(x) from π2 to π is -1.

Step 5 :Adding these two results together, we get a final integral of 0.

Step 6 :Final Answer: 0
