CBSE Class 12th Exam Date:17 Feb' 26 - 17 Feb' 26
Integrals are an important part of calculus, and the NCERT Solutions for Exercise 7.1 Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 Integrals will lead students to another world of calculus. There is a saying that Differentiation breaks things apart, but integration puts them back together. That's why integrals are also called antiderivatives. Imagine walking at a different speed every minute, and at the end of the journey, you want to count the total distance. Integral calculus will calculate the total distance by adding small distances at each moment. If speed is the curve, the integral gives you the area under the speed-time graph, which is the total distance you walked. These solutions follow are latest CBSE guidelines.
Exercise 7.1 of class 12, chapter 7 Maths of NCERT, deals with the basic concepts of integrals and their standard formulae. Our expert faculty at Careers360 has designed these solutions in a detailed manner, ensuring clarity at every step.
Question 1: Find an anti derivative (or integral) of the function by the method of inspection. $\sin 2x$
Answer:
Given $\sin 2x$ ;
So, the anti derivative of $\sin 2x$ is a function of x whose derivative is $\sin 2x$ .
$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( \cos 2x \right ) = -2\sin 2x$
$\implies \sin 2x =\frac{-1}{2} \frac{d}{dx}\left ( \cos 2x \right )$
Therefore, we have $\implies \sin 2x = \frac{d}{dx}\left ( \frac{-1}{2}\cos 2x \right )$
Or, antiderivative of $\sin 2x$ is $\left ( \frac{-1}{2}\cos 2x \right )$ .
Question 2: Find an anti derivative (or integral) of the function by the method of inspection. $\cos 3x$
Answer:
Given $\cos 3x$ ;
So, the antiderivative of $\cos 3x$ is a function of x whose derivative is $\cos 3x$ .
$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( \sin 3x \right ) = 3\cos3x$
$\implies \cos 3x =\frac{1}{3} \frac{d}{dx}\left ( \sin 3x \right )$
Therefore, we have the anti derivative of $\cos 3x$ is $\frac{1}{3}\sin 3x$ .
Question 3: Find an anti derivative (or integral) of the function by the method of inspection. $e ^{2x}$
Answer:
Given $e ^{2x}$ ;
So, the anti derivative of $e ^{2x}$ is a function of x whose derivative is $e ^{2x}$ .
$\frac{d}{dx}\left ( e ^{2x}\right ) = 2e ^{2x}$
$\implies e ^{2x} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{d}{dx}(e ^{2x})$
$\therefore e ^{2x} = \frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1}{2}e ^{2x})$
Therefore, we have the anti derivative of $e^{2x}$ is $\frac{1}{2}e ^{2x}$ .
Question 4: Find an anti derivative (or integral) of the function by the method of inspection. $( ax + b )^2$
Answer:
Given $( ax + b )^2$ ;
So, the anti derivative of $( ax + b )^2$ is a function of x whose derivative is $( ax + b )^2$ .
$\frac{d}{dx} (ax+b)^3 = 3a(ax+b)^2$
$\Rightarrow (ax + b)^2 = \frac{1}{3a} \frac{d}{dx}(ax + b)^3$
$\therefore (ax+b)^2 = \frac{d}{dx}[\frac{1}{3a}(ax+b)^3]$
Therefore, we have the anti derivative of $(ax+b)^2$ is $[\frac{1}{3a}(ax+b)^3]$ .
Question 5: Find an anti derivative (or integral) of the function by the method of inspection. $\sin 2x - 4 e ^{3x}$
Answer:
Given $\sin 2x - 4 e ^{3x}$ ;
So, the anti derivative of
$\frac{d}{dx} \left( -\frac{1}{2}\cos 2x - \frac{4}{3}e^{3x} \right) = \sin 2x - 4e^{3x}$
Therefore, we have the anti derivative of $\sin 2x - 4e^{3x}$ is $\left( -\frac{1}{2}\cos 2x - \frac{4}{3}e^{3x} \right)$ .
Question 6: Find the integral$\int ( 4e ^{3x}+1) dx$

$D) \ \frac{3}{2}x^{3/2} + \frac{1}{2}x^{1/2} + C$
Answer:
Given to find the anti derivative or integral of $\left ( \sqrt x + 1/ \sqrt x \right )$ ;
$\int \left ( \sqrt x + 1/ \sqrt x \right )\ dx$
$\int x^{\frac{1}{2}}\ dx + \int x^{-\frac{1}{2}}\ dx$
$= \frac{x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{\frac{3}{2}} + \frac{x^{\frac{1}{2}}}{\frac{1}{2}}+C$
$= \frac{2}{3}x^{\frac{3}{2}} + 2x^{\frac{1}{2}} +C$ , where C is any constant value.
Hence the correct answer is $\frac{2}{3}x^{3/2} + 2x^{1/2} + C$.
Question 22: Choose the correct answer The anti derivative of
If $\frac{d}{dx}f(x) = 4 x ^3 - \frac{3}{x^4}$ such that f (2) = 0. Then f (x) is
$A) \ x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3} - \frac{129}{8}$
$B) \ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^4} - \frac{129}{8}$
$C) \ x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3} + \frac{129}{8}$
$D) \ x^3 + \frac{1}{x^4} - \frac{129}{8}$
Answer:
Given that the anti derivative of $\frac{d}{dx}f(x) = 4x^3 - \frac{3}{x^4}$
So, $\frac{d}{dx} f(x) = 4x^3 - \frac{3}{x^4}$
$f(x) = \int \left( 4x^3 - \frac{3}{x^4} \right) \, dx$
$f(x) = 4\int x^3 \, dx - 3\int x^{-4} \, dx$
$f(x) = 4\left( \frac{x^4}{4} \right) - 3\left( \frac{x^{-3}}{-3} \right) + C$
$f(x) = x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3} + C$
Now, to find the constant C;
we will put the condition given, f (2) = 0
$f(2) = 2^4 + \frac{1}{2^3} + C = 0$
$16 + \frac{1}{8} + C = 0$
or $C = \frac{-129}{8}$
$\Rightarrow f(x) = x^4+\frac{1}{x^3}-\frac{129}{8}$
Therefore the correct answer is $ x^4 + \frac{1}{x^3} - \frac{129}{8} $

Integration is the process of finding the antiderivative of a function which gives the area of the curve formed by a function. The integration is the inverse process of differentiation.
Integration is used to find the area, volume etc. of many functions.
The Integral chapter covers a large portion of Class 12 Maths syllabus. It has applications in Physics as well. Hence it is advisable to students to not leave this chapter at any cost.
In board, easy to moderate level of questions are asked but in competitive exams, advanced level of problems are asked which can only be tackled with practice.
It includes basic topics related to finding the integration of basic functions. Eg sinx, cosx etc.

Hello,
No, it’s not true that GSEB (Gujarat Board) students get first preference in college admissions.
Your daughter can continue with CBSE, as all recognized boards CBSE, ICSE, and State Boards (like GSEB) which are equally accepted for college admissions across India.
However, state quota seats in Gujarat colleges (like medical or engineering) may give slight preference to GSEB students for state-level counselling, not for all courses.
So, keep her in CBSE unless she plans to apply only under Gujarat state quota. For national-level exams like JEE or NEET, CBSE is equally valid and widely preferred.
Hope it helps.

Hello,
Since you have passed 10th and 12th from Delhi and your residency is Delhi, but your domicile is UP, here’s how NEET counselling works:
1. Counselling Eligibility: For UP NEET counselling, your UP domicile makes you eligible, regardless of where your schooling was. You can participate in UP state counselling according to your NEET rank.
2. Delhi Counselling: For Delhi state quota, usually 10th/12th + residency matters. Since your school and residency are in Delhi, you might also be eligible for Delhi state quota, but it depends on specific state rules.
So, having a Delhi Aadhaar will not automatically reject you in UP counselling as long as you have a UP domicile certificate.
Hope you understand.
