Evaluate the following integrals:
$\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}}{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}+\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}\text{ dx}$

Answer

Let $\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}}{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}+\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{i})$
$=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\sin^\text{n}\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{x}\big)}{\sin^\text{n}\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{x}\big)+\cos^\text{n}\big(\frac{\pi}{2}-\text{x}\big)}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}{\cos^\text{n}\text{x}+\sin^\text{n}\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}+\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}\text{ dx}\ ...(\text{ii})$
Adding (i) and (ii) we get
$2\text{I}=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}}{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}+\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}+\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}+\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}+\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}+\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}\text{ dx}$
$=\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\text{dx}$
$=\Big[\text{x}\Big]^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0=\frac{\pi}{2}$
Hence, $\text{I}=\frac{\pi}{4}$
i.e., $\int\limits^{\frac{\pi}{2}}_0\frac{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}}{\sin^\text{n}\text{x}+\cos^\text{n}\text{x}}\text{ dx}=\frac{\pi}{4}$
