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$\int ( 4e ^{3x}+1) dx$

$B) \ \frac{2}{3}x^{2/3} + \frac{1}{2}x^2 + C$
$C) \ \frac{2}{3}x^{3/2} + 2x^{1/2} + C$
$D) \ \frac{3}{2}x^{3/2} + \frac{1}{2}x^{1/2} + C$
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} $
