NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Exercise 7.1 Question 10
Evaluate \(\int \left(\sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^{2}\, dx\).
💡 Concept Hints
- Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
- Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.
✅ Step-by-Step Solution
Final Answer: \(\frac{x^{2}}{2} - 2 x + \log{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}\) + C.
- Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
- Expand and use linearity, then integrate each power or elementary term.
- The integrand rewrites as \(x - 2 + \frac{1}{x}\). Apply ∫xᵖdx=x^(p+1)/(p+1) for p≠−1, ∫dx/x=log|x|, and the elementary exponential/trigonometric rules.
- An antiderivative is F(x)=\(\frac{x^{2}}{2} - 2 x + \log{\left(\left|{x}\right| \right)}\).
- Differentiate this expression to check that F′(x)=\(\left(\sqrt{x} - \frac{1}{\sqrt{x}}\right)^{2}\). Add an arbitrary constant C on each domain component.
