NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Exercise 7.2 Question 6

Evaluate \(\int \sqrt{a x + b}\, dx\).

💡 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: For a≠0: 2(ax+b)^(3/2)/(3a)+C on the real domain. For a=0,b≥0: x√b+C; for a=0,b<0 there is no real integrand.
  1. Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
  2. u=ax+b, du=a dx, a≠0; integrate u^(1/2)du/a. If a=0,b≥0 the answer is x√b+C.
  3. An antiderivative is F(x)=\(\frac{2 \left(a x + b\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3 a}\).
  4. Differentiate this expression to check that F′(x)=\(\sqrt{a x + b}\). Add an arbitrary constant C on each domain component.
