NCERT Solutions for Exercise 7.9 Class 12 Maths Chapter 7 - Integrals

Edited By Komal Miglani | Updated on Apr 25, 2025 10:57 AM IST | #CBSE Class 12th

Integrals help us find the total accumulation of a quantity, like the total distance covered or the area under a curve. Definite integrals take this one step further and give us the total accumulation over a specific interval, like the total distance covered between two specific points. In exercise 7.8 of the chapter Integrals, we will deep dive into the world of definite integrals, where we will learn how definite integrals act as the limit of a sum. This article on the NCERT Solutions for Exercise 7.8 of Class 12 Maths, Chapter 7 - Integrals, offers detailed and easy-to-understand solutions to the problems given in the exercise, which will help the students clear their doubts and understand the logic behind the solutions.

I=125x2x2+4x+3=12(520x+15x2+4x+3)dx

=125dx1220x+15x2+4x+3dx

=[5x]121220x+15x2+4x+3dx

I=5I1 where I=1220x+15x2+4x+3dx . ................(1)

Now, consider I=1220x+15x2+4x+3dx

Take numerator 20x+15=Addx(x2+4x+3)+B

=2Ax+(4A+B)

We now equate the coefficients of x and constant term, we get

A=10 and B=-25

I1=10122x+4x2+4x+3dx2512dxx2+4x+3

Now take denominator x2+4x+3=t

Then we have (2x+4)dx=dt

I1=10dtt25dx(x+2)212

=10logt25[12log(x+21x+2+1)]

=[10log(x2+4x+3)]1225[12log(x+1x+3)]12

=[10log1510log8]25[12log3512log24]

=[10log5+10log310log410log2]252[log3log5log2+log4] =(10+252)log5+(10252)log4+(10252)log3+(10+252)log2 =452log5452log452log3+52log2

=552(9log54log32)

Question 17: Evaluate the definite integral

0π4(2sec2x+x3+2)dx

Answer:

Given integral: 0π4(2sec2x+x3+2)dx

(2sec2x+x3+2)dx=2tanx+x44+2x

So, we have the function of x , f(x)=2tanx+x44+2x

Now, by Second fundamental theorem of calculus, we have

I=f(π4)f(0)

={(2tanπ4+14(π4)4+2π4)(2tan0+0+0)}

=2tanπ4+π445+π2

Consider the integral 6x+3x2+4

can be rewritten as: 6x+3x2+4=32x+1x2+4dx

=32xx2+4dx+31x2+4dx

=3log(x2+4)+32tan1x2

So, we have the function of x , f(x)=3log(x2+4)+32tan1x2

Now, by Second fundamental theorem of calculus, we have

I=f(2)f(0)

={3log(22+4)+32tan1(22)}{3log(0+4)+32tan1(02)} =3log8+32tan113log432tan10

=3log8+32×π43log40

=3log84+3π8

or we have =3log2+3π8

Question 20: Evaluate the definite integral

01(xex+sinπx4)dx

Answer:

Given integral: 01(xex+sinπx4)dx

Consider the integral (xex+sinπx4)dx

can be rewritten as: xexdx{(ddxx)exdx}dx+{cosπx4π4}

=xexexdx4ππcosx4

=xexex4ππcosx4

So, we have the function of x , f(x)=xexex4ππcosx4

Now, by Second fundamental theorem of calculus, we have

I=f(1)f(0)

=(1.etet4πcosπ4)(0.e0e04πcos0)

=ee4π(12)+1+4π

Question 21: Choose the correct answer

13dx1+x2 equals

(C) π6

(D) π12

Answer:

Given definite integral 13dx1+x2

Consider dx1+x2=tan1x

we have then the function of x, as f(x)=tan1x

By applying the second fundamental theorem of calculus, we will get

13dx1+x2=f(3)f(1)

=tan13tan11

=π3π4

=π12

Therefore the correct answer is π12 .

Question 22: Choose the correct answer

023dx4+9x2 equals

(A) π6

(B) π12

(C) π24

(D) π4

Answer:

Given definite integral 023dx4+9x2

Consider dx4+9x2=dx22+(3x)2

Now, putting 3x=t

we get, 3dx=dt

Therefore we have, dx22+(3x)2=13dt22+t2

=13(12tan1t2)=16tan1(3x2)

we have the function of x , as f(x)=16tan1(3x2)

So, by applying the second fundamental theorem of calculus, we get

023dx4+9x2=f(23)f(0)

=16tan1(32.23)16tan10

=16tan110

=16×π4=π24

Therefore the correct answer is π24.

Topics covered in Chapter 7, Integrals: Exercise 7.8

The main topic covered in class 12 maths chapter 7 of Integrals, exercise 7.8 is:

  • Definite integrals: A definite integral is an integral with an upper limit and a lower limit, and it is represented as the total accumulation between these limits. It is denoted as abf(x)dx, where a is the lower limit and b is the upper limit, and f(x) is the function being integrated.
  • First fundamental theorem of integral calculus: Let f be a continuous function on the closed interval [a,b] and let A(x) be the area function. Then A(x)=f(x), for all x[a,b].
  • Second fundamental theorem of integral calculus: Let f be a continuous function defined on the closed interval [a,b] and let F be an antiderivative of f. Then abf(x)dx=[F(x)]ab=F(b)F(a).

Questions related to CBSE Class 12th

Have a question related to CBSE Class 12th ?

Changing from the CBSE board to the Odisha CHSE in Class 12 is generally difficult and often not ideal due to differences in syllabi and examination structures. Most boards, including Odisha CHSE , do not recommend switching in the final year of schooling. It is crucial to consult both CBSE and Odisha CHSE authorities for specific policies, but making such a change earlier is advisable to prevent academic complications.

Hello there! Thanks for reaching out to us at Careers360.

Ah, you're looking for CBSE quarterly question papers for mathematics, right? Those can be super helpful for exam prep.

Unfortunately, CBSE doesn't officially release quarterly papers - they mainly put out sample papers and previous years' board exam papers. But don't worry, there are still some good options to help you practice!

Have you checked out the CBSE sample papers on their official website? Those are usually pretty close to the actual exam format. You could also look into previous years' board exam papers - they're great for getting a feel for the types of questions that might come up.

If you're after more practice material, some textbook publishers release their own mock papers which can be useful too.

Let me know if you need any other tips for your math prep. Good luck with your studies!

It's understandable to feel disheartened after facing a compartment exam, especially when you've invested significant effort. However, it's important to remember that setbacks are a part of life, and they can be opportunities for growth.

Possible steps:

    • Identify Weak Areas: Pinpoint the specific topics or concepts that caused difficulties.
    • Seek Clarification: Reach out to teachers, tutors, or online resources for additional explanations.
    • Practice Regularly: Consistent practice is key to mastering chemistry.
  2. Consider Professional Help:

    • Tutoring: A tutor can provide personalized guidance and support.
    • Counseling: If you're feeling overwhelmed or unsure about your path, counseling can help.
  3. Explore Alternative Options:

    • Retake the Exam: If you're confident in your ability to improve, consider retaking the chemistry compartment exam.
    • Change Course: If you're not interested in pursuing chemistry further, explore other academic options that align with your interests.
  4. Focus on NEET 2025 Preparation:

    • Stay Dedicated: Continue your NEET preparation with renewed determination.
    • Utilize Resources: Make use of study materials, online courses, and mock tests.
