Solving basic integration is like taking a walk in the park; it’s simple and direct, but special types of integration are like going into a maze, complex and tricky at first, but once you get the pattern and the right method, then you can solve them easily. In exercise 7.7 of the chapter Integrals, we will learn about the integrals of some more types based on the techniques of integration by parts. This article on the NCERT Solutions for Exercise 7.7 of Class 12, Chapter 7 - Integrals, offers clear and step-by-step solutions to the problems given in the exercise, so that students can clear their doubts and understand the logic behind the solutions.

Question 1: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Answer:
Given function $\sqrt{4 - x^2}$ ,
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int \sqrt{4-x^2}dx$
$= \int \sqrt{(2)^2-x^2}dx$
Then it is known that, $= \int \sqrt{a^2-x^2}dx =\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2-x^2} +\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a}+C$
Therefore, $I = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2} +\frac{4}{2}\sin^{-1}{\frac{x}{2}}+C$
$= \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{4-x^2} +2\sin^{-1}{\frac{x}{2}}+C$
Question 2: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Given function to integrate $\sqrt{1 - 4x^2}$
Now we can rewrite as
$= \int \sqrt{1 - (2x)^2}dx$
As we know the integration of this form is $\left [ \because \int \sqrt{a^2-x^2}dx =\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2-x^2} +\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a} \right ]$
$= \frac{(\frac{2x}{2})\sqrt{1^2-(2x)^2}+\frac{1^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1}}{2\rightarrow Coefficient\ of\ x\ in\ 2x} +C$
$= \frac{1}{2}\left [ x\sqrt{1-4x^2}+\frac{1}{2}\sin^{-1}2x \right ]+C$
$= \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{1-4x^2}+\frac{1}{4}\sin^{-1}2x+C$
Question 3: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Answer:
Given function $\sqrt{x^2 + 4x + 6}$ ,
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int\sqrt{x^2 + 4x + 6}dx$
$= \int\sqrt{(x^2 + 4x + 4)+2}dx = \int\sqrt{(x + 2)^2 +(\sqrt2)^2}dx$
And we know that, $\int \sqrt{x^2+a^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2+a^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2+a^2}| +C$
$\Rightarrow I = \frac{x+2}{2}\sqrt{x^2+4x+6}+\frac{2}{2}\log\left | (x+2)+\sqrt{x^2+4x+6} \right |+C$
$= \frac{x+2}{2}\sqrt{x^2+4x+6}+\log\left | (x+2)+\sqrt{x^2+4x+6} \right |+C$
Question 4: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Answer:
Given function $\sqrt{x^2 + 4x +1}$ ,
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int\sqrt{x^2 + 4x + 1}dx$
$= \int\sqrt{(x^2 + 4x + 4)-3}dx = \int\sqrt{(x + 2)^2 -(\sqrt3)^2}dx$
And we know that, $\int \sqrt{x^2-a^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2-a^2}-\frac{a^2}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2-a^2}| +C$
$\therefore I = \frac{x+2}{2}\sqrt{x^2+4x+1}-\frac{3}{2}\log\left | (x+2)+\sqrt{x^2+4x+1} \right |+C$
Question 5: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Answer:
Given function $\sqrt{1-4x-x^2}$ ,
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int\sqrt{1-4x-x^2}dx$
$= \int\sqrt{1-(x^2+4x+4-4)}dx = \int\sqrt{1+4 -(x+2)^2}dx$
$= \int\sqrt{(\sqrt5)^2 -(x+2)^2}dx$
And we know that, $\int \sqrt{a^2-x^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2-x^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a}+C$
$\therefore I = \frac{x+2}{2}\sqrt{1-4x-x^2}+\frac{5}{2}\sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{x+2}{\sqrt5} \right )+C$
Question 6: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Answer:
Given function $\sqrt{x^2 + 4x - 5}$ ,
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int\sqrt{x^2+4x-5}dx$
a $= \int\sqrt{(x^2+4x+4)-9}dx = \int\sqrt{(x+2)^2 -(3)^2}dx$
And we know that, $\int \sqrt{x^2-a^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2-a^2}-\frac{a^2}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2-a^2}|+C$
$\therefore I = \frac{x+2}{2}\sqrt{x^2+4x-5}-\frac{9}{2}\log\left | (x+2)+ \sqrt{x^2+4x-5} \right |+C$
Question 7: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Answer:
Given function $\sqrt{1 + 3x - x^2}$ ,
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int\sqrt{1+3x-x^2}dx$
$= \int\sqrt{(1-\left ( x^2-3x+\frac{9}{4}-\frac{9}{4} \right )}dx = \int \sqrt{\left ( 1+\frac{9}{4} \right )-\left ( x-\frac{3}{2} \right )^2}dx$ $= \int \sqrt{\left ( \frac{\sqrt{13}}{2} \right )^2-\left ( x-\frac{3}{2} \right )^2}dx$
And we know that, $\int \sqrt{a^2-x^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{a^2-x^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\sin^{-1}\frac{x}{a}+C$
$\therefore I = \frac{x-\frac{3}{2}}{2}\sqrt{1+3x-x^2}+\frac{13}{8}\sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{x-\frac{3}{2}}{\frac{\sqrt{13}}{2}} \right )+C$
$= \frac{2x-3}{4}\sqrt{1+3x-x^2}+\frac{13}{8}\sin^{-1}\left ( \frac{2x-3}{\sqrt{13}} \right )+C$
Question 8: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Answer:
Given function $\sqrt{x^2 + 3x}$ ,
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int\sqrt{x^2+3x}dx$
$= \int\sqrt{x^2+3x+\frac{9}{4}-\frac{9}{4}}dx$
$= \int\sqrt{\left ( x+\frac{3}{2} \right )^2-\left ( \frac{3}{2} \right )^2 }dx$
And we know that, $\int \sqrt{x^2-a^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2-a^2}-\frac{a^2}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2-a^2}| +C$
$\therefore I = \frac{x+\frac{3}{2}}{2}\sqrt{x^2+3x}-\frac{\frac{9}{4}}{2}\log \left | \left ( x+\frac{3}{2} \right )+\sqrt{x^2+3x} \right |+C$
$= \frac{2x+3}{4}\sqrt{x^2+3x}-\frac{9}{8}\log\left | \left ( x+\frac{3}{2} \right )+\sqrt{x^2+3x} \right |+C$
Question 9: Integrate the functions in Exercises 1 to 9.
Answer:
Given function $\sqrt{1 + \frac{x^2}{9}}$ ,
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int\sqrt{1+\frac{x^2}{9}}dx = \frac{1}{3}\int \sqrt{9+x^2}dx$
$= \frac{1}{3}\int \sqrt{3^2+x^2}dx$
And we know that, $\int \sqrt{x^2+a^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2+a^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2+a^2}| +C$
$\therefore I = \frac{1}{3}\left [ \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2+9} +\frac{9}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2+9}| \right ]+C$
$= \frac{x}{6}\sqrt{x^2+9} +\frac{3}{2}\log\left | x+\sqrt{x^2+9} \right |+C$
Question 10: Choose the correct answer in Exercises 10 to 11.
$\int \sqrt{1+x^2}dx$ is equal to
(A) $\frac{x}{2}\sqrt{1+x^2} + \frac{1}{2}\log\left |\left(x + \sqrt{1+x^2} \right )\right| +C$
(B) $\frac{2}{3}(1+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C$
(C) $\frac{2}{3}x(1+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}} + C$
(D) $\frac{x^2}{2}\sqrt{1+x^2} + \frac{1}{2}x^2\log\left |x + \sqrt{1+x^2} \right| +C$
As we know that, $\int \sqrt{x^2+a^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2+a^2}+\frac{a^2}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2+a^2}| +C$
So, $\int \sqrt{1+x^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2+1}+\frac{1}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2+1}| +C$
Therefore the correct answer is A.
Question 11: Choose the correct answer in Exercises 10 to 11.
$\int \sqrt{x^2 - 8x+7}dx$ is equal to
(A) $\frac{1}{2}(x-4)\sqrt{x^2-8x+7} + 9\log\left|x-4+\sqrt{x^2 -8x+7}\right| +C$
(B) $\frac{1}{2}(x+4)\sqrt{x^2-8x+7} + 9\log\left|x+4+\sqrt{x^2 -8x+7}\right| +C$
(C) $\frac{1}{2}(x-4)\sqrt{x^2-8x+7} -3\sqrt2\log\left|x-4+\sqrt{x^2 -8x+7}\right| +C$
(D) $\frac{1}{2}(x-4)\sqrt{x^2-8x+7} -\frac{9}{2}\log\left|x-4+\sqrt{x^2 -8x+7}\right| +C$
Given integral $\int \sqrt{x^2 - 8x+7}dx$
So, let us consider the function to be;
$I = \int\sqrt{x^2-8x+7}dx =\int\sqrt{(x^2-8x+16)-(9)}dx$
$=\int\sqrt{(x-4)^2-(3)^2}dx$
And we know that, $\int \sqrt{x^2-a^2}dx = \frac{x}{2}\sqrt{x^2-a^2}-\frac{a^2}{2}\log|x+\sqrt{x^2-a^2}| +C$
$I = \frac{(x-4)}{2}\sqrt{x^2-8x+7}-\frac{9}{2}\log|(x-4)+\sqrt{x^2-8x+7}| +C$
Therefore the correct answer is D.

The main topic covered in class 12 maths chapter 7 of Integrals, exercise 7.7 is:
Integrals of some more types: In this section, some special types of integrals are discussed, which can be easily solved by using the techniques of integration by parts. The integration by parts formula is as follows:
$\int f(x) g(x) d x=f(x) \int g(x) d x-\int\left[f^{\prime}(x) \int g(x) d x\right] d x$
Where $f(x)$ is the first function, $g(x)$ is the second function, and $f'(x)$ is the first derivative of the functions $f(x)$.
