INTRODUCTION:
The Class 12 Mathematics chapter 7 notes include various complex concepts related to Integration and application of Integrals.
Integration is the inverse of differentiation. Integration is defined as the process of determining a function, say F(x), whose differential coefficient is known.
Therefore, Let the differential coefficient of F(x) be f(x).
ddx[F(x)]=f(x), we say that F(x) is integral or antiderivative of f(x).
Integration is denoted by f(x) dx= F(x) where,
f(x) is a function f of variable x is known as the integral and f(x) dx is known as the element of integration.
INDEFINITE INTEGRAL
If ddx[F(x)]=f(x) then arbitrary constant C, f(x) dx= F(x) + C.
This shows that F(x) and F(x) + C are integrals of the same function f(x). If the value of C varies, we get different values of integrals of f(x). Therefore, the integral of the function f(x) is not definite. By virtue of this property, we can say that F(x) is the indefinite integral of f(x).
Properties:
- [f(x) + g(x) dx] = f(x) dx + g(x) dx
- ddx[F(x)]=f(x)
- k.f(x) = k. f(x)dx
- If f1(x), f2(x), f3(x)…… fn(x) are functions and k1, k2,, k3…..kn are real numbers. Then
[r1f1(x) r2f2(x)r3 f3(x)…… rnfn(x)] dx = r1f1(x) dx r2f2(x) dx … rnfn(x) dx
Standard Formulas:
- xndx = xn+1n+1 + C, n -1
- 1xdx = log x+C
- exdx = ex + C
- axdx = axlogea+C
- sin x dx =-cos x +C
- cos x dx=sin x+C
- sec2x dx=tan x+C
- sec x. tan x dx=sec x+C
- cosec x. cot x dx=-cosec x+C
- tan x dx= log|cosx|+ C = log|secx|+ C
- cot x dx = log|sinx|+ C
- sec x dx = log|secx + tanx|+ C
- cosec x dx = log|cosecx − cotx|+ C
- 11-x2dx = sin-1x +C
- 11+x2dx = tan-1x +C
- 1xx2-1dx = sec-1x +C
Geometric Interpretation:

If d/dx[F(x)]=f(x), then f(x) dx= F(x) + C. If the value of C varies, we get different values of integrals of f(x), differing by a constant. The graph of the function depicts an infinite family of curves and they have the same slope F’(x) = f(x).
METHODS OF INTEGRATION:
1. Substitution Method:
By using the substitution method, the variable x in f(x) dx changes into another variable, t. Therefore, the integrand f(x) changes into F(t), which is known to be the algebraic sum of standard integrals. There is no formula to determine a suitable substitute.
a. If given integrand is of the form f’(ax + b),
We substitute ax+b=t. Therefore, dx= 1a dt
Integrating on both sides, we get
f′(ax+b)dx = f'(t)1a dt = f(t)a =f(ax + b)a+C
b. If given integrand is of the form xn-1f’(xn),
We substitute xn=t. Therefore, n.xn-1dx= dt
Integrating on both sides, we get
xn-1f’(xn)dx = f'(t)dtn = 1n =f(ax + b)a+C
Therefore, f'(t) dt = 1n f(t) = 1n f(xn) + C
c. If given integrand is of the form [f(x)n]f’(x),
We substitute f(x)=t. Therefore, f’(x) dx= dt
d. If given integrand is of the form f’(x)f(x),
We substitute f(x)=t. Therefore, f’(x) dx= dt
Integrating on both sides, we get
f’(x)f(x) dx = dtt = log t=log f(x)+C
Some Special Integrals:
dxx2+a2=1a tan-1xa+C
dxx2-a2=12alogx-ax+a+C
dxa2-x2=12aloga+xa-x+C
1a2-x2dx = sin-1xa +C
1×2+a2dx = log x+x2+a2 + C
1×2-a2dx = log x+x2-a2 + C
a2-x2 dx = x2a2-x2+ a22 sin-1xa +C
x2+a2 dx = x2x2+a2+ a22 log x+x2+a2 + C
x2-a2 dx = x2x2-a2+ a22 log x+x2-a2 + C
Rules to solve integrations of the following forms through Integral Substitution
∫f(a2-x2)dx, substitute x=a.sin θ or x=a.cos θ
∫f(a2+x2)dx, substitute x=a.tan θ or x=a.cot θ
∫f(x2-a2)dx, substitute x=a.sec θ or x=a.cosec θ
f(a+xa-x) dx or f(a-xa+x) dx, substitute x=a.cos 2θ
Integrals of the form 1:
dxax2+bx+c
dxax2+bx+c
ax2+bx+c dx
Rules to solve the above-mentioned integrals:
Step 1: Make the coefficient of x2 =1. Take the coefficient of x2 common from the quadratic equation.
Step 2: ax2+bx+c in the form of a[(x + b2a)2] – b2-4ac2a

Step 4: Integrate the function.
Integrals of the form 2:
px+qax2+bx+cdx
px+qax2+bx+cdx
(px+q)ax2+bx+c dx
To solve these integrals, we carry out the following steps:
Substitute px+q as λ (2ax+b) + μ or px+q= λ+ μ
On comparing, we get
p = 2aλ and q = bλ+ μ, which is equal to
λ=p2a and μ = q – bλ μ = q – bp2a
Using these, we transform the integrand and thus integrate the function.
Integrals of form 3:
P(x) ax2+bx+cdx, where P(x) is a polynomial of degree ⩾ 2.
This equation becomes (a0+a1x+a2x2….. + an-1xn-1)ax2+bx+c + k dx ax2+bx+c.
The value of the constants is found by separating the relation and comparing the coefficients of the different powers of x on both sides.

METHOD OF PARTIAL FRACTIONS:
Integrals of the form p(x)q(x)dx are integrated with the help of partial fractions.
Firstly, check the degree of p(x) and q(x)
Substitute p(x)q(x) = r(x) + f(x)q(x) where degree of p(x) degree of q(x) > degree of f(x)
Case 1: Denominator has non-repeated linear components
q(x) = (x−1)(x−2)…(x−n)
Therefore, f(x)q(x) = A1 (x−1)+A2 (x−2)+…….+An (x−n)
Extract LCM and find the value of A1, A2, …… , An
Case 2: Denominator has repeated as well as non-repeated linear components.
q(x) = (x−1)2(x−3)…(x−n)
Therefore, f(x)q(x) = A1 (x−1)+A2 (x−1)2+…….+An (x−n)
Extract LCM and find the value of A1, A2, …… , An
Case 3: Denominator has a non-repeated quadratic component which is not further factorisable.
q(x) = (ax2+bx+c)(x−3)(x−4)…(x−n)
Therefore, f(x)q(x) = A1x+A2 (ax2+bx+c)+A3 (x−3)+A4 (x−4)…….+An (x−n)
Extract LCM and find the value of A1, A2, …… , An
Case 4: Denominator has a repeating quadratic component.
q(x) = (ax2+bx+c)2(x−5)(x−6)…(x−n)
Therefore, f(x)q(x) = A1x+A2 (ax2+bx+c)+A3x+A4 (ax2+bx+c)2+A5 (x−5)…….+An (x−n)
Extract LCM and find the value of A1, A2, …… , An
Case 5: The power x is even
Step 1: Substitute z= x2
Step 2: Resolve the functions in terms of z into partial fractions
Step 3: Substitute z= x2 again and carry out Integration.
METHOD OF INTEGRATION BY PARTS
Let u and v be two functions, then integration of the product of u.v is given as
u.v dx= uv dx-(dudx. v.dx) dx
Case 1: Integrals of the form f(x).xn dx
Take xn = u i.e., the first function and f(x) as v.
Case 2: Integrals of form 1.(log x)n dx
Take (log x)n = u i.e., the first function and 1 as v.
Case 3: If the two functions u and v are of different types, then the first function can be chosen as
I – Inverse Trigonometric function
L – Logarithmic function
A – Algebraic function
T− Trigonometric function
E− Exponential function.
The sequence is remembered using an abbreviation, i.e., ‘ILATE’.
