\int\limits_{0}^{1} \sin{\left(x \right)} \cos{\left(x \right)} 1\, dx

Simplify

Detail solution

There are multiple ways to do this integral.
Method #1
1. Let $u = \sin{\left(x \right)}$ .
  
  Then let $du = \cos{\left(x \right)} dx$ and substitute $du$ :
  
  $\int u\, du$
  1. The integral of $u^{n}$ is $\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
    
    $\int u\, du = \frac{u^{2}}{2}$
  Now substitute $u$ back in:
  
  $\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{2}$
Method #2
1. Let $u = \cos{\left(x \right)}$ .
  
  Then let $du = - \sin{\left(x \right)} dx$ and substitute $- du$ :
  
  $\int u\, du$
  1. The integral of a constant times a function is the constant times the integral of the function:
    
    $\int \left(- u\right)\, du = - \int u\, du$
    1. The integral of $u^{n}$ is $\frac{u^{n + 1}}{n + 1}$ when $n \neq -1$ :
      
      $\int u\, du = \frac{u^{2}}{2}$
    So, the result is: $- \frac{u^{2}}{2}$
  Now substitute $u$ back in:
  
  $- \frac{\cos^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{2}$
Add the constant of integration:

$\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{2}+ \mathrm{constant}$

The answer is:

\frac{\sin^{2}{\left(x \right)}}{2}+ \mathrm{constant}
