    \[\int_{{}}^{{}}{\sqrt{1+\cos x}\ dx}\] equals [RPET 1996]

    A)            \[2\sqrt{2}\sin \frac{x}{2}+c\]

    B)            \[-2\sqrt{2}\sin \frac{x}{2}+c\]

    C)            \[-2\sqrt{2}\cos \frac{x}{2}+c\]

    D)            \[2\sqrt{2}\cos \frac{x}{2}+c\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

               \[I=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\sqrt{1+\cos x}\,dx}=\int_{{}}^{{}}{\sqrt{2{{\cos }^{2}}(x/2)}dx}\]            \[I=\sqrt{2}\int_{{}}^{{}}{\cos (x/2\,)dx}=2\sqrt{2}\sin (x/2)+c\].
