NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Exercise 7.2 Question 10

Evaluate \(\int \frac{1}{- \sqrt{x} + x}\, dx\).

💡 Concept Hints

  1. Identify the domain and the inner and outer functions, or the relevant one-sided limits.
  2. Apply the appropriate differentiation or limit rule, keep all chain factors, and check exceptional points.

✅ Step-by-Step Solution

Final Answer: \(2 \log{\left(\left|{\sqrt{x} - 1}\right| \right)}\) + C.
  1. Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
  2. u=√x, dx=2u du; the integrand becomes 2du/(u−1), for x>0,x≠1.
  3. An antiderivative is F(x)=\(2 \log{\left(\left|{\sqrt{x} - 1}\right| \right)}\).
  4. Differentiate this expression to check that F′(x)=\(\frac{1}{- \sqrt{x} + x}\). Add an arbitrary constant C on each domain component.
