NCERT Class 12 Maths · Chapter 7 Integrals · Exercise 7.8 Question 1

Evaluate \(\int\limits_{-1}^{1} \left(x + 1\right)\, dx\).

💡 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: \(2\)
  1. Work on each open interval where the original integrand is real and defined.
  2. Use linearity and the elementary power, logarithm, trigonometric and exponential rules. Where a product x eˣ occurs use integration by parts; for rational terms split off the denominator derivative.
  3. An antiderivative is F(x)=\(\frac{x^{2}}{2} + x\).
  4. At the upper and lower limits, F(b)=\(\frac{3}{2}\) and F(a)=\(- \frac{1}{2}\).
  5. By the fundamental theorem (using one-sided limits for any integrable endpoint), I=F(b)−F(a)=\(2\).
