NCERT Exercises in Chapter 7: Integrals

📘 NCERT Concept Notes — Integrals

01 · Integration reverses differentiation

An indefinite integral is a family of antiderivatives, differing by a constant on a domain interval. Check your answer by differentiating it. Keep the original real domain even when algebra cancels a denominator.

02 · Choose a method from the structure

Look for an inner derivative for substitution, simplify trigonometric powers using identities, divide improper rational functions before partial fractions, and use parts when differentiating one factor simplifies the product.

03 · Recognise the standard denominator

Complete the square to decide which standard integral applies. A numerator that is nearly the denominator derivative can be split into a derivative part and a remainder.

04 · Definite integrals use limits, not arbitrary constants

Evaluate a primitive at the upper endpoint minus the lower endpoint. Under substitution, change both limits. Symmetry is useful only when the integral exists; cancellation across divergent endpoints does not establish convergence.

⚡ Key Formulas & Results — Integrals

Power and logarithm
Which exponent is the exception to the power rule?
\(\int x^n dx=\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}+C\ (n\ne-1),\quad\int\frac{dx}{x}=\log|x|+C\)
Linearity of integration
How do sums and constant factors behave?
\(\int(af+bg)dx=a\int fdx+b\int gdx\)

Substitution
How does u=g(x) transform an integral?
\(\int f(g(x))g\prime(x)dx=\int f(u)du\)
Trigonometric logarithms
