NCERT Solutions for Exercise 7.10 Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 - Integrals

Komal MiglaniUpdated on 24 Apr 2025, 08:49 AM IST

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 $x\sin x$

Questions related to CBSE Class 12th

On Question asked by student community

Have a question related to CBSE Class 12th ?

Yes, you can switch from Science in Karnataka State Board to Commerce in CBSE for 12th. You will need a Transfer Certificate from your current school and meet the CBSE school’s admission requirements. Since you haven’t studied Commerce subjects like Accountancy, Economics, and Business Studies, you may need to catch up before or during 12th. Not all CBSE schools accept direct admission to 12th from another board, so some may ask you to join Class 11 first. Make sure to check the school’s rules and plan your subject preparation.



Hello

For the 12th CBSE Hindi Medium board exam, important questions usually come from core chapters like “Madhushala”, “Jhansi ki Rani”, and “Bharat ki Khoj”.
Questions often include essay writing, letter writing, and comprehension passages. Grammar topics like Tenses, Voice Change, and Direct-Indirect Speech are frequently asked.
Students should practice poetry questions on themes and meanings. Important questions also cover summary writing and translation from Hindi to English or vice versa.
Previous years’ question papers help identify commonly asked questions.
Focus on writing practice to improve handwriting and presentation. Time management during exams is key to answering all questions effectively.
