NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Exercise 7.4 Question 14

Evaluate \(\int \frac{1}{- x^{2} + 3 x + 8}\, dx\).

💡 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: \(\frac{\sqrt{41} \log{\left(\left|{\frac{2 x - 3 + \sqrt{41}}{- 2 x + 3 + \sqrt{41}}}\right| \right)}}{41}\) + C.
  1. Work on each open interval where the integrand is real and defined.
  2. Write the denominator as 41/4−(x−3/2)² and use partial fractions.
  3. An antiderivative is F(x)=\(\frac{\sqrt{41} \log{\left(\left|{\frac{2 x - 3 + \sqrt{41}}{- 2 x + 3 + \sqrt{41}}}\right| \right)}}{41}\).
  4. Differentiate this expression to check that F′(x)=\(\frac{1}{- x^{2} + 3 x + 8}\). Add an arbitrary constant C on each domain component.
