$\int_0^{\pi / 4} \cos x e^{\sin x} d x$ is equal to

  • A
    $e+1$
  • Correct answer
    B
    $e-1$
  • C
    $e$
  • D
    $-e$

Solution

Suppose, $I=\int_0^{\pi / 2} \cos x e^{\sin x} d x$
Let $\sin x=t \Rightarrow \cos x d x=d t$
$x \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow t \rightarrow 0$
and $x \rightarrow \frac{\pi}{2} \Rightarrow t \rightarrow 1$
So $I=\int_0^1 e^t d t=\left[e^t\right]_0^1=e-1$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
