what is the best way to solve a double integral question without drawing the figure we need to integrate over?
guessing lol
havent tried doubles yet....
lol.. but you said you were guessing..
whats the function or functions to double integrate :)
yeah giv us the function..
and make it a hard one lol
something with an exponent of 3 in it ;)
and a negative
let it be a double integral of 4xy-y^3 over the area bounded by the curves y=x^2 n y=x^(1/2)
if we do the x we get......umm........how do we do doubles anyways?
is this confined to a single plane right?
i see the football shape made by the bounds of x^2 and sqrt(x)
the region bounded by those curves looks like a rugby ball..
dunno what to do with the 4xy-y^3 function tho..... how does that come into play?
if we int with respect to y it goes; 2xy^2-y^4/4 right?
and with respect to x its: 4yx^3/3 +xy^3 ??
the major problem n which also the 1st step is to find the limits for the double integral for individual x and y.. once u r able to get that.. then its more or less like normal integration..
how hard is it to find limits solve sqrt(x) = x^2
x^4 = x x(x^3 -1) =0 x=0, x=1 for real solutions
when x=0 , y= 0 when x=1, y= 1
so its just \[\int\limits_{0}^{1}\int\limits_{0}^{1} f(x,y) dx dy \]
doesnt matter which order u integrate, in the above I do x first
so f(x,y) = 4xy-y^3 int f dx = 2x^2 y -xy^3 [ from x=1..x=0] = ( [2y -y^3 ] - [0] ) = 2y -y^3 now we integrate that with respect to y , from y=0 to y=1
so we get [ y^2 -y^4 / 4 ] from y=1..y=0 = 1- (1/4) = 3/4 //final answer
