I am working on a double integral of 3xy where R is the region in the first quadrant bounded by x^2+y^2=9, y=4x, y=0. I drew a picture and I have the inner integral from 4x to sqrt(9-x^2) and the outer integral from 0 to 3-- of 3xy dy dx

I need to get a pen and paper for this, good practice for me too :-) next week exam about this. 2min and I am back

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok- I know I have a problem since my answer is negative (and I'm in the first quadrant)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok I have a picture now

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y goes from 0 to 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x goes from 1/4y to sqrt(9-y^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you think?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wouldn't it also be the same to have x goes from 0 to 3 and y goes from 4x to sqrt(9-x^2)??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{3}\int\limits_{y/4}^{\sqrt{9-y ^{2}}} 3xy dxdy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you make the graph you can see that if you set x to go from 0-3 than y will go from 0 till 4x or 0 till sqrt(9-x^2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so I guess that way you have to split the integral to two parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok- I'm going to try to solve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am doing it now too, do you have the answer for it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no I don't :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 33.75-(3/32)*ln(3). Does this look right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got different :-)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok lets do it step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first you do the x integral to get 3x^2y/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have that!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now you put back the integral values

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2{3(9-y^2)y-3/16y^3)}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agreed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have 1/2{3(9-y^2)y-3/16y^2)}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is y^3 you have 3x^2y and you put 1/4 y for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now expanding the brackets gives: 1/2(27-51/16y^3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

agreed?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now we integrate for y that is: 1/2(27y-51/4*16y^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we only need to put back 3 as for 0 everything is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2(27*3-51*3^4/(4*16)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and I dont know what that is :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8.2265625

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just to confirm: we have \[(1/2)* ((27*3)-((51*(3^4))/(4*16))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

charming number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks for your help! My webGrader still doesn't like it but I'll ask my professor tomorrow!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am not hundred percent sure but I guess it is ok, if you have the answer you could write a reply tomorrow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks again!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In order to do this in x and y, you would have to break the integral up because the y goes from 0 to 4x over interval 0 to 3/4; and y goes from 0 to3 over interval 3/4 to 3. This interval is good for polar coordinates.
