To tackle the integral \( \int_{0}^{\pi / 2} \frac{1-\sin x}{x+\cos x} d x \), we can use a handy substitution which plays on the symmetry of the interval. Consider the substitution \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} - t \). Then, as \( x \) goes from \( 0 \) to \( \frac{\pi}{2} \), \( t \) also runs from \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) to \( 0 \), which flips the limits: \[ dx = -dt \] With this substitution, we find: \[ \cos x = \sin t \quad \text{and} \quad \sin x = \cos t \] So, our integral becomes: \[ \int_{\frac{\pi}{2}}^{0} \frac{1 - \cos t}{\frac{\pi}{2} - t + \sin t} (-dt) = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1 - \cos t}{\frac{\pi}{2} - t + \sin t} dt \] Now, we notice that we can express our original integral in terms of this new variable. Analyzing the two integrals reveals a beautiful symmetry. By adding these two representations of the integral, we can simplify our problem. The combined integral will help us understand the structure and lead us to find a straightforward solution or an approximation. Conclusively, you may find the value of the initial integral using numerical techniques or other advanced integral properties. The elegance of such transformations is often what makes calculus delightful to delve into!
