Derivatives measure the rate of change, like the speed of your bike, while integrals sum up all the little changes over time to find the total accumulation, like the total distance travelled by you. Integrals are one of the fundamental concepts in calculus, which play a vital role in solving real-world problems involving areas and volumes. After learning about the definite integrals, we can now look forward to the topic of evaluating definite integrals. In exercise 7.9 of the chapter Integrals, we will learn about the evaluation of definite integrals by substitution. This exercise will help the students in applying a suitable substitution to change some complex expressions into more manageable ones and evaluate them easily. This article on the NCERT Solutions for Exercise 7.9 Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 - Integrals, offers detailed and easy-to-understand solutions to help students clear their doubts and get a clear idea about the logic behind these solutions.

Integrals Class 12 Chapter 7 Exercise: 7.9

Question 1: Evaluate the integral using substitution.

$\int_0^1\frac{x}{x^2 +1}dx$

Answer:

$\int_0^1\frac{x}{x^2 +1}dx$
let $x^2+1 = t \Rightarrow xdx =dt/2$
when x = 0 then t = 1 and when x =1 then t = 2
$\therefore \int_{o}^{1}\frac{x}{x^2+1}dx=\frac{1}{2}\int_{1}^{2}\frac{dt}{t}$
$\\=\frac{1}{2}[\log\left | t \right |]_{1}^{2}\\ =\frac{1}{2}\log 2$


Question 2: Evaluate the integral using substitution.

$\int^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\sqrt{\sin\phi}\cos^5\phi d\phi$

Answer:

$\int^\frac{\pi}{2}_0\sqrt{\sin\phi}\cos^5\phi d\phi$
let $\sin \phi = t \Rightarrow \cos \phi d\phi = dt$
when $\phi =0,t\rightarrow 0$ and $\phi =\pi/2,t\rightarrow 1$

using the above substitution we can evaluate the integral as

$\therefore \int_{0}^{1} \sqrt{t}(1 - t^2)\,dt$

$= \int_{0}^{1} t^{\frac{1}{2}}(1 + t^4 - 2t^2)\,dt$

$= \int_{0}^{1} t^{\frac{1}{2}}\,dt + \int_{0}^{1} t^{\frac{9}{2}}\,dt - 2\int_{0}^{1} t^{\frac{5}{2}}\,dt$

$= \left[\frac{2t^{3/2}}{3} + \frac{2t^{11/2}}{11} - \frac{4t^{7/2}}{7} \right]_0^1$

$= \frac{64}{231}$


Question 3: Evaluate the integral using substitution.

$\int_0^1 \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2} \right )dx$

Answer:

$\int_0^1 \sin^{-1}\left(\frac{2x}{1+x^2} \right )dx$
let $x = \tan\theta\Rightarrow dx =\sec^2\theta d\theta$
when x = 0 then $\theta= 0$ and when x = 1 then $\theta= \pi/4$

$\\=\int_{0}^{\pi/4}\sin^{-1}(\frac{2\tan\theta}{1+\tan\theta})\sec^2\theta d\theta\\ =\int_{0}^{\pi/4}\sin^{-1}(\sin 2\theta)\sec^2\theta d\theta\\ =\int_{0}^{\pi/4}2\theta \sec^2\theta d\theta\\$
Taking $\theta$ as a first function and $\sec^2\theta$ as a second function, by using by parts method

$\begin{aligned}
&= 2\left[\theta \int \sec^2\theta\, d\theta - \int\left( \frac{d}{d\theta} \theta \cdot \int \sec^2\theta\, d\theta \right) d\theta \right]_0^{\pi/4} \\
&= 2\left[\theta \tan\theta - \int \tan\theta\, d\theta \right]_0^{\pi/4} \\
&= 2\left[\theta \tan\theta + \log\left| \cos\theta \right| \right]_0^{\pi/4} \\
&= 2\left[\frac{\pi}{4} + \log\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)\right] \\
&= \frac{\pi}{2} - \log 2
\end{aligned}$


Question 4: Evaluate the integral using substitution.

$\int_0^2x\sqrt{x+2}$ . (Put ${x+2} = t^2$ )

Answer:

Let $x+2 = t^2\Rightarrow dx =2t dt$
when x = 0 then t = $\sqrt{2}$ and when x=2 then t = 2

$I=\int_{0}^{2}x\sqrt{x+2}dx$

$= 2\int_{\sqrt{2}}^{2}(t^2 - 2)t^2\, dt$

$= 2\int_{\sqrt{2}}^{2}(t^4 - 2t^2)\, dt$

$= 2\left[ \frac{t^5}{5} - \frac{2}{3}t^3 \right]_{\sqrt{2}}^2$

$= 2\left[ \frac{32}{5} - \frac{16}{3} - \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{5} + \frac{4\sqrt{2}}{3} \right]$

$= \frac{16\sqrt{2}(\sqrt{2} + 1)}{15}$


Question 5: Evaluate the integral using substitution.

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\sin x}{1 + \cos^2 x}dx$

Answer:

$\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\frac{\sin x}{1 + \cos^2 x}dx =I$
let $\cos x =t\Rightarrow -\sin x dx = dt$
when x=0 then t = 1 and when x= $\pi/2$ then t = 0

$\\I=\int_{1}^{0}\frac{dt}{1+t^2}\\ =[\tan ^{-1}t]^0_1\\ =\pi/4$


Question 6: Evaluate the integral using substitution.

$\int_0^2\frac{dx}{x + 4 - x^2}$

Answer:

By adjusting, the denominator can also be written as $(\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2})^2-(x-\frac{1}{2})^2 =x+4-x^2$
Now,
$\Rightarrow \int_{0}^{2}\frac{dx}{(\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2})^2-(x-\frac{1}{2})^2}$
let $x-1/2 = t\Rightarrow dx=dt$
when x= 0 then t =-1/2 and when x =2 then t = 3/2

$\Rightarrow \int_{-1/2}^{3/2} \frac{dt}{\left( \frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} \right)^2 - t^2}$
$= \frac{1}{2 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{17}}{2}} \log \frac{\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} + t}{\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} - t}$
$= \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} \left[ \log \frac{\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} + \frac{3}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} - \frac{3}{2}} - \log \frac{\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} - \frac{1}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{17}}{2} + \frac{1}{2}} \right]$
$= \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} \left[ \log \left( \frac{\sqrt{17} + 3}{\sqrt{17} - 3} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{17} + 1}{\sqrt{17} - 1} \right) \right]$
$= \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} \left[ \log \left( \frac{17 + 3 + 4\sqrt{17}}{17 + 3 - 4\sqrt{17}} \right) \right]$
$= \frac{1}{\sqrt{17}} \log \left( \frac{5 + \sqrt{17}}{5 - \sqrt{17}} \right)$
On rationalisation, we get

$=\frac{1}{\sqrt{17}}\log \frac{21+5\sqrt{17}}{4}$


Question 7: Evaluate the integral using substitution.

$\int_{-1}^1\frac{dx}{x^2 +2x + 5}$

Answer:

$\int_{-1}^1\frac{dx}{x^2 +2x + 5}$
it can be written as $x^2+2x+5 = (x+1)^2+2^2$
and put x+1 = t then dx =dt

when x= -1 then t = 0 and when x = 1 then t = 2

$\\\Rightarrow \int_{0}^{2}\frac{dt}{t^2+2^2}\\ =\frac{1}{2}[\tan^{-1}\frac{t}{2}]^2_0\\ =\frac{1}{2}( \pi/4)\\ =\frac{\pi}{8}$


Question 8: Evaluate the integral using substitution.

$\int_1^2\left(\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2x^2} \right )e^{2x}dx$

Answer:

$\int_1^2\left(\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2x^2} \right )e^{2x}dx$
let $2x =t \Rightarrow 2dx =dt$
when x = 1 then t = 2 and when x = 2 then t= 4

$\\=\frac{1}{2}\int_{2}^{4}(\frac{2}{t}-\frac{2}{t^2})e^tdt\\$
let
$\frac{1}{t} = f(t)\Rightarrow f'(t)=-\frac{1}{t^2}$
$\Rightarrow \int_{2}^{4}(\frac{1}{t}-\frac{1}{t^2})e^tdt =\int_{2}^{}4e^t[f(t)+f'(t)]dt$
$\\=[e^tf(t)]^4_2\\ =[e^t.\frac{1}{t}]^4_2\\ =\frac{e^4}{4}-\frac{e^2}{2}\\ =\frac{e^2(e^2-2)}{4}$


Question 9: Choose the correct answer

The value of the integral $\int_{\frac{1}{3}}^1\frac{(x-x^3)^\frac{1}{3}}{x^4}dx$ is

(A) 6

(B) 0

(C) 3

(D) 4

Answer:

$\int_{\frac{1}{3}}^1\frac{(x-x^3)^\frac{1}{3}}{x^4}dx$
$\int_{\frac{1}{3}}^1\frac{(\frac{1}{x^2}-1)^\frac{1}{3}}{x^3}dx\\$
let
$\frac{1}{x^2}-1 = t\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{x^3}=-dt/2$
now, when x = 1/3, t = 8 and when x = 1 , t = 0

$\\=-\frac{1}{2}\int_{8}^{0}t^{1/3}dt\\ =-\frac{1}{2}.\frac{3}{4}[t^4/3]^0_8\\ =-\frac{3}{8}[-2^4]\\ =6$

Hence, The value of integral is 6


Question 10: Choose the correct answer

If $f(x) = \int_0^x t \sin t dt$ , then $f'(x)$ is

(A) $\cos x + x\sin x$

(B) $x\sin x$

(C) $x\cos x$

(D) $\sin x + x\cos x$

Answer:

$f(x) = \int_0^x t \sin t dt$
by using by parts method,
$\\=t\int \sin t dt - \int (\frac{d}{dt}t\int \sin t dt)dt\\ =[t(-\cos t )+\sin t]^x_0$

$f(x) = -x\,\text{cos}\,x + \text{sin}\,x$

So, $f'(x) = -\text{cos}\,x + x\,\text{sin}\,x + \text{cos}\,x = x\,\text{sin}\,x$

Hence, The correct answer is $x\sin x$
