double integeration xy dxdy over poasitive quadrant of circle ???

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the radius of the circle would help

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you are given the radius, right?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

@chakshu if you don't provide all the info in the question we can't help you. You must be either given the formula for the circle or its radius.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint #1: What @TuringTest said. Hint #2: The double-integral is the area under the curve.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TuringTest I believe @chakshu wants the double-integral of a circle over one quadrant - 0 to pi/2.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

clearly, yeah (I was gonna make him tell me those bounds on theta, but oh well) but we certainly need the radius.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question is based on double integeration of xy with respct to dxdy for positive quadrant of circle x^2+y^2=a^2...hope u understand??

OpenStudy (turingtest):

ok so the radius is "a" then, which we can leave unknown do you know how to convert rectangular to polar coordinates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

radius is a we have to find the limits first i guess for this circle nd in solutione they hav taken a strip parallel to y axis and then find the limits

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you are making it harder than it is, draw the picture...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

|dw:1349880008378:dw|it's a circle of radius a, so the x and y intercepts are a. but doing this integral in rectangular coordinates would be very nasty, so we should convert everything to polar coordinates. Do you know how to convert x, y, and dA to polar coordinates? (we will find the bounds after)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1349880050613:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you tell me how and why this strip is taken?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Does the problem say you \(have\) to do this in rectangular coordinates?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (turingtest):

Then forget the strip and stop thinking in rectangular coordinates. Change them to \(polar\). Do you know what I mean at all?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y has limits from 0 to \[\sqrt{a^2-x^2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and x has limits from 0 to a and then it is integrated but i dnt know why at all

OpenStudy (turingtest):

polar polar polar you are not listening to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its all done on this strip basis.wtf!!

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you are writing in rectangular coordinates, change them to polar

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is in rectanglar cordinates

OpenStudy (turingtest):

The answer should be the same whether you use rectangular or polar coordinates

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how ?? tell me the soltn plzz

OpenStudy (turingtest):

I am not here to give you the whole solution I am here to guide you. Let's do it in rectangular (since that seems to be what the problem requires, ugh...) Look at the region:|dw:1349880595113:dw|for any strip that we draw the bottom of the strip will be the x-axis (y=0) and the top will be the function of the circle \(y=\sqrt{a^2-x^2}\) hence the bounds on y are between those two values \[0\le y\le\sqrt{a^2-x^2}\]do you understand that now?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes but for x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why the value of x `is from 0 to a? u did it right i want to give u a medal but dnt know how to :p

OpenStudy (turingtest):

click "best response" (not that I care much for medals, I just like helping) the x range comes from the same ideas that you use in calc I, look at the range on x in the first quadrant...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i couldnt get u this time

OpenStudy (turingtest):

|dw:1349881128687:dw|x can only vary between 0 (since it's in the first quadrant) and the radius a. After that there is no more function to integrate.
