Question 1: Find the integrals of the functions $\sin ^ 2 ( 2x+ 5 )$
Answer:
$\sin ^ 2 ( 2x+ 5 )$
using the trigonometric identity
$sin^2x=\frac{1-cos2x}{2}$
we can write the given question as
$= \frac{1 - \cos 2(2x + 5)}{2} = \frac{1 - \cos (4x + 10)}{2}$
$= \int \frac{1 - \cos (4x + 10)}{2} \, dx$
$= \frac{1}{2} \int dx - \frac{1}{2} \int \cos(4x + 10) \, dx$
$= \frac{x}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{\sin(4x + 10)}{4} \right]$
$= \frac{x}{2} - \frac{\sin(4x + 10)}{8} + C$
Question 2: Find the integrals of the functions $\sin 3x \cos 4x$
Answer:
Using identity $\sin A\cos B = 1/2[sin(A+B)+sin(A-B)]$
, therefore the given integral can be written as
$\int \sin 3x \cos 4x = \frac{1}{2} \int \sin(3x + 4x) + \sin(3x - 4x) \, dx$
$= \frac{1}{2} \int \sin(7x) - \sin(x) \, dx$
$= \frac{1}{2} \left[ \int \sin(7x) \, dx - \int \sin x \, dx \right]$
$= \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{-\cos 7x}{7} + \cos x \right] + C$
$= \frac{\cos x}{2} - \frac{\cos 7x}{14} + C$
Question 3: Find the integrals of the functions $\cos 2x \cos 4x \cos 6x$
Answer:
Using identity
$cosAcosB = \frac{1}{2}[cos(A+B)+cos(A-B)]$
$\int \cos 2x.\cos 4x.\cos 6x = \int \cos 2x. \frac{1}{2}[(\cos 10x)+\cos 2x]dx$
Again use the same identity mentioned in the first line
$= \frac{1}{2} \int (\cos 2x \cdot \cos 10x + \cos 2x \cdot \cos 2x) \, dx$
$= \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{1}{2} (\cos 12x + \cos 8x) \, dx + \frac{1}{2} \int \left( \frac{1 + \cos 4x}{2} \right) \, dx$
$= \frac{\sin 12x}{48} + \frac{\sin 8x}{32} + \frac{\sin 4x}{16} + \frac{x}{4} + C$
Question 4: Find the integrals of the functions $\sin ^ 3 ( 2x +1 )$
Answer:
$\int \sin^3(2x+1)dx = \int \sin^2(2x+1).\sin(2x+1)dx$
The integral can be written as
$= \int (1-\cos^2(2x+1)).\sin(2x+1)dx$
Let
$\\\cos (2x+1) =t\\ \sin (2x+1)dx = -dt/2$
$\\=\frac{-1}{2}\int (1-t^2)dt\\ =\frac{-1}{2}[t-t^3/3]\\ =\frac{t^3}{6}-\frac{t}{2}$
Now, replace the value of t, we get;
$= \frac{\cos^3(2x+1)}{6} - \frac{\cos(2x+1)}{2} + C$
Question 5: Find the integrals of the functions $\sin ^3 x \cos ^ 3 x$
Answer:
$I = \int \sin^3x.\cos^3x\ dx$
rewrite the integral as follows
$\\=\int cos^3x.sin^2x.\sin x\ dx\\ =\int cos^3x(1-\cos^2x)\sin x\ dx$
Let $\cos x = t \Rightarrow \sin x dx =-dt$
$\\=-\int t^3(1-t^2)dt\\ =-\int(t^3-t^5)dt\\ =-[\frac{t^4}{4}]+[\frac{t^6}{6}] +C\\ =\frac{\cos^6x}{6}-\frac{cos^4x}{4}+C$ ......(replace the value of t as $cos\ x$ )
Question 6: Find the integrals of the functions $\sin x \sin 2x \sin 3x$
Answer:
Using the formula
$sinAsinB=\frac{1}{2}(cos(A-B)-cos(A+B))$
we can write the integral as follows
$\int \sin x \cdot \sin 2x \cdot \sin 3x \, dx = \int \sin x \cdot \frac{1}{2}[\cos x - \cos 5x] \, dx$
$= \frac{1}{2} \int [\sin x \cdot \cos x - \sin x \cdot \cos 5x] \, dx$
$= \frac{1}{2} \int \frac{\sin 2x}{2} \, dx - \frac{1}{2} \int \sin x \cdot \cos 5x \, dx$
$= -\frac{\cos 2x}{8} - \frac{1}{4} \int [\sin 6x - \sin 4x] \, dx$
$= -\frac{\cos 2x}{8} - \frac{1}{4} \left[ \frac{-\cos 6x}{6} + \frac{\cos 4x}{4} \right]$
$= -\frac{\cos 2x}{8} + \frac{\cos 6x}{24} - \frac{\cos 4x}{16} + C$
Question 7: Find the integrals of the functions $\sin 4x \sin 8x$
Answer:
Using identity
$sinAsinB=\frac{1}{2}(cos(A-B)-cos(A+B))$
we can write the following integral as
$\sin 4x \sin 8x$ =
$\\=\frac{1}{2}\int(\cos 4x - \cos 12x) dx\\ =\frac{1}{2} [\int\cos 4x\ dx - \int \cos 12x\ dx]\\ =\frac{\sin 4x}{8}-\frac{\sin 12x}{24}+C$
Question 8: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{1- \cos x }{1+ \cos x }$
Answer:
We know the identities
$\\1+\cos 2A = 2\cos^2A\\ 1-\cos 2A = 2\sin^2 A$
Using the above relations we can write
$\frac{1-\cos x}{1+\cos x}=\frac{\sin^2x/2}{\cos^2x/2} = \tan^2x/2$
$=\int \tan^2x/2 =\int (\sec^2x/2-1)dx$
$\\=\int (\sec^2x/2)dx-\int dx\\ = 2[\tan x/2]-{x}+C$
Question 9: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac {\cos x }{1 + \cos x }$
Answer:
The integral is rewritten using trigonometric identities
$\frac{\cos x}{1+ \cos x} = \frac{\cos^2 \frac{x}{2} - \sin^2 \frac{x}{2}}{2 \cos^2 \frac{x}{2}} = \frac{1}{2} \left[ 1 - \tan^2 \frac{x}{2} \right]$
$= \int \frac{1}{2} \left[ 1 - \tan^2 \frac{x}{2} \right] \, dx$
$= \frac{1}{2} \int \left[ 1 - \left( \sec^2 \frac{x}{2} - 1 \right) \right] \, dx$
$= \frac{1}{2} \int \left[ 2 - \sec^2 \frac{x}{2} \right] \, dx$
$= x - \tan \frac{x}{2} + C$
Question 10: Find the integrals of the functions $\sin ^ 4 x$
Answer:
$\sin ^ 4 x$ can be written as follows using trigonometric identities
$= \sin^2 x \cdot \sin^2 x$
$= \frac{1}{4}(1 - \cos 2x)^2$
$= \frac{1}{4}(1 + \cos^2 2x - 2\cos 2x)$
$= \frac{1}{4} \left( 1 + \frac{1}{2}(1 + \cos 4x) - 2\cos 2x \right)$
$= \frac{3}{8} + \frac{\cos 4x}{8} - \frac{\cos 2x}{2}$
Therefore,
$\Rightarrow \int \sin^4x\ dx = \int \frac{3}{8}dx+\frac{1}{8}\int\cos 4x\ dx -\frac{1}{2}\int\cos 2x\ dx$
$= \frac{3x}{8}+\frac{\sin 4x}{32} -\frac{\sin 2x}{4}+C$
Question 11: Find the integrals of the functions $\cos ^ 4 2x$
Answer:
$cos^42x=cos^32xcos2x$
now using the identity
$cos^3x=\frac{cos3x+3cosx}{4}$
$cos^32xcos2x=\frac{cos6x +3cos2x}{4}cos2x=\frac{cos6xcos2x+3cos^22x}{4}$
now using the below two identities
$cosacosb=\frac{cos(a+b)+cos(a-b)}{2}\\and\ cos^22x=\frac{1+cos4x}{2}\\$
the value
$cos^42x=cos^32xcos2x\\=\frac{cos6xcos2x+3cos^22x}{4}=\frac{cos 4x+cos8x}{8}+\frac{3}{4}\frac{1+cos4x}{2}$ .
the integral of the given function can be written as
$\int cos^42x=\int \frac{cos 4x+cos8x}{8}+\int \frac{3}{4}\frac{1+cos4x}{2}\\ \\=\frac{3}{8}x+\frac{sin4x}{8}+\frac{sin8x}{64}+C$
Question 12: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{\sin ^ 2x }{1+ \cos x }$
Answer:
Using trigonometric identities we can write the given integral as follows.
$\frac{\sin ^ 2x }{1+ \cos x }$
$\\=\frac{4\sin^2\frac{x}{2}\cos^2\frac{x}{2}}{2\cos^2\frac{x}{2}}\\ =2\sin^2\frac{x}{2}\\ =1-\cos x$
$\therefore \int \frac{sin^22x}{1+\cos x} = \int (1-\cos x)dx$
$\\= \int 1dx-\int\cos x\ dx\\ =x-\sin x+C$
Question 13: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{\cos 2x - \cos 2 \alpha }{\cos x - \cos \alpha }$
Answer:
We know that,
$\cos A-\cos B = -2\sin(\frac{A+B}{2})\sin(\frac{A-B}{2})$
Using this identity we can rewrite the given integral as
$\frac{\cos 2x - \cos 2\alpha}{\cos x - \cos \alpha} = \frac{-2 \sin \frac{2x + 2\alpha}{2} \sin \frac{2x - 2\alpha}{2}}{-2 \sin \frac{x + \alpha}{2} \sin \frac{x - \alpha}{2}}$
$= \frac{\sin(x + \alpha) \sin(x - \alpha)}{\sin \frac{x + \alpha}{2} \sin \frac{x - \alpha}{2}}$
$= \frac{[2 \sin \frac{x + \alpha}{2} \cos \frac{x + \alpha}{2}] [2 \sin \frac{x - \alpha}{2} \cos \frac{x - \alpha}{2}]}{\sin \frac{x + \alpha}{2} \sin \frac{x - \alpha}{2}}$
$= 4 \cos \frac{x + \alpha}{2} \cos \frac{x - \alpha}{2}$
$= 2[\cos x + \cos \alpha]$
$\therefore \int\frac{\cos 2x-\cos 2\alpha }{\cos x-\cos\alpha}=\int 2\cos x\ dx +\int 2\cos \alpha\ dx$
$=2[\sin x + x\cos \alpha]+C$
Question 14: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{\cos x - \sin x }{1+ \sin 2x }$
Answer:
$\frac{\cos x - \sin x}{1 + 2\sin x} = \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x + 2\sin x \cos x}$
$= \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{(\sin x + \cos x)^2}$
$\\sin x+\cos x =t\\ \therefore (\cos x-\sin x)dx = dt$
Now,
$=\int \frac{dt}{t^2}\\ =\int t^-2\ dt\\ =-t^{-1}+C\\ =-\frac{1}{(\sin x+\cos x)}+C$
Question 15: Find the integrals of the functions $\tan ^ 3 2x \sec 2x$
Answer:
$\tan^32x.\sec 2x = \tan^22x.\tan 2x.\sec 2x$
$\\= (\sec^22x-1).\tan 2x.\sec 2x\\ =\sec^22x.\tan 2x-\tan 2x.\sec 2x$
Therefore integration of $\tan ^ 3 2x \sec 2x$ =
$\\=\int\sec^22x.\tan 2x\ dx-\int\tan 2x.\sec 2x\ dx\\ =\int\sec^22x.\tan 2x\ dx-\sec 2x/2+C\\$ .....................(i)
Let assume
$\sec 2x = t$
So, that $2\sec 2x.\tan 2x\ dx =dt$
Now, the equation (i) becomes,
$\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\int t^2\ dt-\frac{\sec 2x}{2}+C\\ \Rightarrow \frac{t^3}{6}-\frac{\sec 2x}{2}+C\\ =\frac{(\sec 2x)^3}{6}-\frac{\sec 2x}{2}+C$
Question 16: Find the integrals of the functions $\tan ^ 4x$
Answer:
the given question can be rearranged using trigonometric identities
$tan^4x=(\sec^2x-1).\tan^2x\\ =\sec^2x.\tan^2x-\tan^2x\\ =\sec^2x.\tan^2x-\sec^2x+1$
Therefore, the integration of $\tan^4x$ = $\\=\int \sec^2x.\tan^2x\ dx-\int\sec^2x\ dx+\int dx\\ =(\int \sec^2x.\tan^2x\ dx)-\tan x+x+C\\$ ...................(i)
Considering only $\int \sec^2x.\tan^2x\ dx$
let $\tan x =t\Rightarrow \sec^2x\ dx =dt$
$\int \sec^2x\tan^2x\ dx = \int t^2\ dt = t^3/3=\frac{\tan^3x}{3}$
now the final solution is,
$\int \tan^4x =\frac{\tan^3x}{3}-\tan x+x+C$
Question 17: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{\sin ^ 3x + \cos ^ 3x }{\sin ^ 2 x \cos ^2 x }$
Answer:
$\frac{\sin ^ 3x + \cos ^ 3x }{\sin ^ 2 x \cos ^2 x }$
now splitting the terms we can write
$\\=\frac{\sin^3x}{\sin^2x.\cos^2x}+\frac{\cos^3x}{\sin^2x.\cos^2x}\\ =\frac{\sin x}{cos^2x}+\frac{\cos x}{\sin^2x}\\ =\tan x.\sec x+\cot xcosec x$
Therefore, the integration of
$\frac{\sin ^ 3x + \cos ^ 3x }{\sin ^ 2 x \cos ^2 x }$
$\\=\int (\tan x\sec x+\cot xcosec x)dx\\ =\sec x-cosec\ x+C$
Question 18: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{\cos 2 x + 2 \sin ^ 2x }{\cos ^ 2 x }$
Answer:
The integral of the above equation is
$\\=\int (\frac{\cos 2x+2\sin^2x}{\cos^2x})dx\\ =\int (\frac{\cos 2x+(1-\cos 2x)}{\cos^2x}\\ =\int\frac{1}{\cos^2x}\\ =\int \sec^2x\ dx =\tan x+C$
Thus after evaluation, the value of integral is tanx+ c
Question 19: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{1}{\sin x \cos ^3 x }$
Answer:
Let
We can write 1 = $\sin^2x +\cos^2x$
Then, the equation can be written as
$I =\frac{\sin^2x +\cos^2x}{\sin x\cos^3x}$
$I =\int (\tan x+\frac{1}{\tan x})\sec^2 x dx$
put the value of tan $x$ = t
So, that $\sec^2xdx =dt$
$\\\Rightarrow I=\int (t+\frac{1}{t})dt\\ =\frac{t^2}{2}+\log\left | t \right |+C\\ =\log\left | \tan x \right |+\frac{1}{2}\tan^2x+C$
Question 20: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{\cos 2x }{( \cos x + \sin x )^2}$
Answer:
we know that $cos2x= cos^2x-sin^2x$
therefore,
$\frac{\cos 2x }{( \cos x + \sin x )^2}$
$\frac{\cos 2x}{1+\sin 2x}\\ \Rightarrow \int \frac{\cos 2x}{1+\sin 2x}\\$ let $1+sin2x =t \Rightarrow 2cos2x\ dx = dt$
Now the given integral can be written as
$\therefore \int \frac{\cos 2x}{(\cos x+\sin x)^2}=\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{1}{t}dt$
$\\\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\log\left | t \right |+C\\ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\log\left | 1+\sin 2x \right |+C\\=log|sin^2x+cos^2x+2sinxcosx|+C\\=\frac{1}{2}log|(sinx+cosx)^2|+C=log|sinx+cosx|+C$
Question 21: Find the integrals of the functions $\sin ^ { -1} ( \cos x )$
Answer:
using the trigonometric identities we can evaluate the following integral as follows
${100} \int \sin^{-1}(\cos x) \, dx = \int \sin^{-1}\left(\sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right)\right) \, dx$
$= \int \left(\frac{\pi}{2} - x\right) \, dx = \frac{\pi x}{2} - \frac{x^2}{2} + C$
$\frac{\cos x - \sin x}{1 + 2\sin x} = \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{\sin^2 x + \cos^2 x + 2\sin x \cos x}$
$= \frac{\cos x - \sin x}{(\sin x + \cos x)^2}$
Question 22: Find the integrals of the functions $\frac{1}{\cos ( x-a ) \cos ( x-b )}$
Answer:
Using the trigonometric identities following integrals can be simplified as follows
$\frac{1}{\cos(x-a)\cos(x-b)}=\frac{1}{\sin(a-b)}[\frac{\sin(a-b)}{\cos(x-a)\cos(x-b)}]$
$=\frac{1}{\sin(a-b)}[\frac{\sin[(x-b)-(x-a)]}{\cos(x-a)\cos(x-b)}]$
$=\frac{1}{\sin(a-b)}[\frac{\sin(x-b)\cos(x-a)-\cos(x-b)\sin(x-a)}{\cos(x-a)\cos(x-b)}]$
$=\frac{tan(x-b)-\tan (x-a)}{\sin(a-b)}$
$=\frac{1}{\sin(a-b)}\int tan(x-b)-\tan (x-a)dx$
$\\=\frac{1}{\sin(a-b)}[-\log\left | \cos(x-b) \right |+\log\left | \cos(x-a) \right |]\\ =\frac{1}{\sin(a-b)}(\log\left | \frac{\cos(x-a)}{\cos(x-b)} \right |)$
Question 23: Choose the correct answer
$\int \frac{\sin ^ 2 x - \cos ^ 2 x dx }{\sin ^ 2 x \cos ^ 2x } dx \: \:is \: \:equal \: \: to$
Answer:
The correct option is (A)
On reducing the above integral becomes $\sec^2x-csc^2x$
$\int\sec^2x-csc^2x\ dx = \tan x+ \cot x+C$
Question 24: Choose the correct answer $\int \frac{e ^x ( 1+x)}{\cos ^ 2 ( e ^xx )} dx \: \: equals$
$\\(A) -\cot (ex^x) + C \\\\ (B) \tan (xe^x) + C\\\\ (C) \tan (e^x) + C \\\\ (D) \cot (e^x) + C$
Answer:
The correct option is (B)
Let $e^xx = t$ .
So, $(e^x.x+ 1.e^x)dx = dt$
(1+ $x$ ) $e^x\ dx =dt$
therefore,
$\int \frac{e^x(1+x)}{\cos^2(e^x.x)}dx =\int\frac{dt}{\cos^2t}$
$\\=\int \sec^2t dt\\ =\tan t +C\\ =\tan(e^x.x)+C$

Hello Pruthvi,
Taking a drop year to reappear for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) is a well-defined process. As a repeater, you are fully eligible to take the exam again to improve your score and secure a better rank for admissions.
The main procedure involves submitting a new application for the KCET through the official Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) website when registrations open for the next academic session. You must pay the required application fee and complete all formalities just like any other candidate. A significant advantage for you is that you do not need to retake your 12th board exams. Your previously secured board marks in the qualifying subjects will be used again. Your new KCET rank will be calculated by combining these existing board marks with your new score from the KCET exam. Therefore, your entire focus during this year should be on preparing thoroughly for the KCET to achieve a higher score.

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.
