<span class="math-tex">\(\displaystyle\int_0^\pi [\cot x]dx\)</span>, where <span class="math-tex">\([\bullet]\)</span> denotes the greatest integer function, is equal to Use \(\int_0^\pi g(x)\,dx = \int_0^\pi g(\pi - x)\,dx\): \(I = \int_0^\pi [\cot x]\,dx = \int_0^\pi [-\cot x]\,dx\) Add them: \(2I = \int_0^\pi \left([\cot x] + [-\cot x]\right)dx\). For non-integer \(t\), \([t] + [-t] = -1\). (\(\cot x\) is an integer only at isolated points, which don't affect the integral.) So \(2I = -\pi\), and \(I = -\frac{\pi}{2}\). Answer: (D)
