The Class 12 Maths Handwritten Notes PDF provided here cover Class 12 Mathematics Chapter 8 Application of Integrals in approximately 18 notebook pages. The Class 12 Maths Handwritten Notes PDF retain the order of NCERT sections and present every theorem in formal mathematical notation, in legible handwriting.

  • CBSE Weightage: 4 to 6 marks (one 5-marker on area bounded by a curve and a line, a circle, an ellipse, or two intersecting parabolas is near-guaranteed in Class 12 Board papers)
  • JEE Main Weightage: 3 to 5% (1 to 2 questions per shift on area between curves, |x|-type piecewise area, and parabola-line bounded region)
  • JEE Main Weightage: Not in JEE Main syllabus (Maths-only chapter; high-value for JEE Main, JEE Advanced, CUET Mathematics, BITSAT, and ISI / CMI entrance papers)
27 ruled-paper pages · 16 hand-drawn shaded-area diagrams · circle & ellipse strip sketches · parabola+line bounded regions · |x| piecewise area · 2026-27 NCERT

The notebook opens with the vertical-strip and horizontal-strip definitions of definite-integral area, walks through the area under standard curves (parabola, circle, ellipse, line, modulus), then the area-between-curves crossings, and ends with a one-page sketch-and-shade decision card you can carry into the exam hall.

These handwritten notes are prepared by Collegedunia subject mentors, mapped to the 2026-27 NCERT print, and cross-checked against the last five years of CBSE Board and JEE Main papers on Application of Integrals.

Application of Integrals Diagram Inventory in the Class 12 Maths Notebook

The 27-page PDF contains 16 hand-sketched figures. The table below maps every shaded region to its page so a reader hunting one specific bounded-region archetype can jump straight to the right spread.

PageShaded-Region DiagramWhat It Shows
2Vertical strip under y = f(x) Generic curve with one shaded vertical strip of width dx and height y ; the elemental area
3Horizontal strip under x = g(y) Same idea rotated: strip of height dy , width x ; used when dy -integration avoids a sign split
5Area under straight lineTriangle bounded by y = mx , x = a , and the x-axis; warm-up shaded triangular region
7Area under parabola y2 = 4ax Right-opening parabola shaded from x = 0 to x = a ; the standard CBSE 3-marker
9Quarter-circle areaFirst quadrant of x2 + y2 = a2 shaded with the "multiply by 4" note; gives π a2
11Quarter-ellipse areaFirst quadrant of x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 shaded; gives π ab after the 4-fold multiplication
13Modulus y = |x| regionV-shape with two mirrored shaded triangles on [-a, a] ; the piecewise sign-split example
15Region below x-axis splitCubic-like curve dipping below the axis between two roots; the modulus-on-each-piece example
17Parabola and line intersection y2 = 4ax and y = 2x with intersection points circled and the bounded region shaded
18Parabola-line area set-upSame region with vertical strips drawn in and "upper curve minus lower curve" labelled beside the integral
20Two parabolas y2 = 4x , x2 = 4y Both parabolas plotted; intersections (0,0) and (4,4) circled; lens-shaped region shaded
22Circle and line bounded regionCircle x2 + y2 = a2 with chord y = mx + c ; the smaller segment shaded; JEE Main set-up
23Two intersecting circlesTwo circles overlapping with the lens-shaped intersection region shaded; horizontal-strip integration
24Triangle bounded by three linesThree line equations, vertices found, triangular region shaded with vertical strips across two x-pieces
25Ellipse cut by a lineEllipse with line cutting through; shaded region demonstrates switching from dx to dy integration
27Sketch-and-shade decision cardFlowchart: plot find intersections shade pick strip set limits integrate
Quick Tip: Photograph page 27 (the sketch-and-shade decision card) and page 18 (the upper-curve-minus-lower-curve set-up) onto your phone. Nearly every CBSE 5-mark question on the Class 12 Maths Handwritten Notes PDF reduces to one of the two patterns on those two pages.

These six results cover almost every Board and JEE Main question on this chapter since 2021. The full learn table with every standard-curve area, every limit set-up, and every sign-split rule lives on the dedicated Formula Sheet.

Bounded RegionArea Result
Curve and x-axis A = ab y dx = ab f(x) dx (with sign split at x-intercepts)
Curve and y-axis A = cd x dy = cd g(y) dy
Circle x2 + y2 = a2 A = 4 0a a2 - x2 dx = π a2
Ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 A = 4 0a baa2 - x2 dx = π ab
Area between two curves A = ab (f(x) - g(x)) dx where f(x) ≥ g(x) on [a, b]
Area under y = |x| on [-a, a] A = -a0 (-x) dx + 0a x dx = a2

Class 12 Maths Handwritten Notes PDF - Frequently Asked Questions

Ques. Are these Class 12 Maths Chapter 8 Application of Integrals handwritten notes aligned with the 2026-27 NCERT syllabus?

Ans. Yes. The 27-page notebook covers the definite integral as area under a curve, area under standard curves (line, parabola, circle, ellipse, modulus), and area between two curves, all of which the 2026-27 NCERT print retains in full.

Ques. How many pages are in the Application of Integrals handwritten notes PDF?

Ans. 27 ruled-paper pages with 16 hand-sketched shaded-area diagrams including vertical and horizontal strips, quarter-circle and quarter-ellipse, modulus piecewise V-region, parabola-line bounded region, two-parabola lens region, and a one-page sketch-and-shade decision card on the last page.

Ques. What is the expected weightage of Application of Integrals in CBSE Class 12 Board 2026?

Ans. 4 to 6 marks. Expect one 5-marker on the area bounded by a curve and a line, two curves, a circle and a chord, or an ellipse and a line. The 5-mark format has been near-constant across CBSE Board papers since 2021.

Ques. How is area between two curves explained in the handwritten notebook?

Ans. Pages 17, 18, and 20 cover the upper-minus-lower formula ab(f(x) - g(x)) dx . The two curves are sketched, intersection points are circled, the bounded region is shaded with orange hatching, and the integral is set up beside the diagram.

Ques. Can I use these Application of Integrals handwritten notes for JEE Main preparation?

Ans. Yes. JEE Main has carried 1 to 2 questions per shift on this chapter since 2022, most often on area between a parabola and a line, area between two parabolas, or area between a curve and the x-axis with a sign change. The 16 shaded sketches in the notebook cover every JEE-tested archetype.

Ques. How is the area of a circle derived using definite integration in the Class 12 Maths Handwritten Notes PDF?

Ans. Page 9 shades the first quadrant of x2 + y2 = a2 , sets up 0aa2 - x2 dx , uses the standard trig-substitution result π a24 , and multiplies by 4 to recover the full circle area π a2 .

The same template, scaled by b/a in the y-direction, gives the ellipse area π ab on page 11.

Ques. Why must the integral be split when the curve dips below the x-axis?

Ans. Because the raw definite integral ab f(x) dx computes a signed area, and geometric area is always non-negative. Page 15 of the notebook shows a cubic-like curve crossing the axis, with the two pieces evaluated separately and each taken in absolute value before being added.

Ques. What is the area under y = | x | from - a to a ?

Ans. The integral is -a0(-x) dx + 0a x dx = a22 + a22 = a2 . Page 13 of the notebook shades the two mirrored triangles and writes the piecewise set-up alongside the sketch.
