Dear sir
I think the reason your first attempt for integration didn't work is because under the radical is not positive through all the interval of 0 to 2 pi, so it should be broken into more integrals. Am I right about my guess? However, the method you used is much better.( using the symmetry.) And last but not the least, Thank you very much for your videos.
All the best.

Hi Professor, Thank you so much for your video! Could you explain why the integral turned out to be 0 when we integrated from 0 to 2pi?

using the cos^2(x) property was a brilliant idea! I wish i thought about doing that earlier
