Question: (a) By completing the square, show that

\[\int_{0}^{1 / 2} \frac{d x}{x^{2}-x+1}=\frac{\pi}{3 \sqrt{3}}\]

(b) By factoring \(x^{3}+1\) as a sum of cubes, rewrite the integral in part (a). Then express \(1 /\left(x^{3}+1\right)\) as the sum of a power series and use it to prove the following formula for \(\boldsymbol{\pi}\) :

\[\pi=\frac{3 \sqrt{3}}{4} \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n}}{8^{n}}\left(\frac{2}{3 n+1}+\frac{1}{3 n+2}\right)\]
