Evaluate $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sin x\,dx$.

A$-1$
B$1$
C$\pi/2$
D$0$
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. $1$
$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\pi/2} \sin x\,dx = [-\cos x]_{0}^{\pi/2} = -\cos(\pi/2) + \cos(0) = -0 + 1 = 1$. Geometric interpretation: this is the area under one quarter of the sine curve from $0$ to $\pi/2$, which equals exactly $1$ in standard units.
