find the average value o f over the region D: f(x,y) = xsin(y), D is enclosed by the curves y =0, y=x^2, and x=1

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I suppose that means you divide by the area of the region

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i was given a formula that the double integral of f(x,y)DA = (area of R)(average value of f on R)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

so you already have the value of the double integral can you find the area D (or R, or however you want to call it)? that's calc I stuff

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hang on I'm trying to solve for the double integral

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh I thought it was the same as the other, but it's a bit different

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah just sine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the double integral 1/2(1-sin1)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I got just -1/2sin1

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh wait, you were right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay good you scared me :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so how do i solve for the area of R?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

integral of x^2?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

just like the good old days of calc 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the bounds given don't form a region though

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sure they do|dw:1332297950352:dw|\[R=\int_{0}^{1}x^2dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so area = 1/3?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so average = 3/2(1 - sin1)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

guess so never had to find an average value like this, but it makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

awesome thank you so much!
