Integral substitution u = sin x
du/dx = cos x
dx = 1/[cos x] du
x = 0, u = 0
x = 1/2, u = sin (1/2)
Integral becomes
Integral between 0 and sin (1/2) of u^(1/2) cos x (1/cos x) du
Integral between 0 and sin (1/2) of u^(1/2) du
[(2/3)u^(3/2)] evaluated between 0 and sin (1/2)
Not sure where your - sin x came from?
