As we learnt

Properties of definite integration -

If f\left ( x \right ) is an EVEN function of x: then integral of the function from - a to a is the same as twice the integral of the same function from o to a.

\int_{-a}^{a}f(x)dx= 2\left \{ \int_{o}^{a} f(x)dx\right \}

 

- wherein

Check even function f(-x)=f(x) and symmetrical about y axis.

 

 

 

I=\int_{-\pi/2}^{\pi/2}\frac{\cos x}{1+e^{x}}dx= \int_{0}^{\pi/2}\left (\frac{\cos x}{1+e^{x}}+\frac{\cos (-x)}{1+e^{x}} \right )dx=\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos xdx =\left [ \sin x\right ]_{0}^{\pi/2}=1
