need help with this double integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{1} \int\limits_{y}^{e^y} {\sqrt x} dx dy\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

so, lets start with the innards; what the integration of sqrt(x) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2/3 x^3/2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

and when you apply the limits we get: 2/3 (e^3y/2 - y^3/2) is what i think i see there, does that seem right to you?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then we work the dy part

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youve got an e and a poly .... those are basic enough right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64 i guess yes

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int_{a}^bx^{1/2}dx=\frac 23 (b^{3/2}-a^{3/2})\] \[\frac23 \left(\int_{p}^{q} b^{3/2}dy-\int_{p}^{q} a^{3/2}\right)\] \[\frac23 \left(\int_{p}^{q} e^{3y/2}dy-\int_{p}^{q} y^{3/2}\right)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i do by dy then will use this \[\int\limits_{y}^{e^2} \int\limits_{0}^{1} \sqrt x dy dx \]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when you change the limits around, you have to make sure you dont loose the integrity of the area that you are playing with. It is not a general rule that you can just swap the integrations like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the limits actually define a movement in a defined region, and that movement has to be kept intact if you swap it about

OpenStudy (amistre64):

notice that if you just swap it like that, you are left with variables in the outside integral ... this is not a good sign in general since it tends to lead to an answer in variables and nothing specific

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[2/3 \int\limits_{0}^{1} x^{3/2} dy\]
