Calculus II- Double Integral [see attachment]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simple, first do this integration \[\int\limits_{}^{} y dy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's supposed to integrated first with respect to x and then with respect to y. But there is no x value.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

? you do the inner integral first which is respect to y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

unless the problem is asking you to change the order in which you integrate then you need to draw the picture out and redefine the bounds

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there any other instructions other than evaluate the integral?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no... just find the double integral... so the inner integral is y^2/ 2 right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes and its from 2x to x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you substitute those in

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but those are for x values I thought. so it wouldn't go into y?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and 5 to 1 would go into y^2/2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the integral to put it in another way \[\int\limits_{y= -2x}^{y=x^2}y dy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(x^2)^2/2 - (-2x)^2/2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you cant change the order ex. \[\int\limits_{a}^{b} \int\limits_{c}^{d} xy dx dy = \int\limits_{c}^{d} \int\limits_{a}^{b} xy dy dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but you cant just switch the cd and ab around without switching the dy and dx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok anyways assuming you're right \[\int\limits_{0}^{2} \frac{ (x^2)^2}{2} - \frac{ (-2x)^2}{2} dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you take the outer integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

... now I'm lost.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Loser66 his problem was he was trying to take the integral of \[\int\limits_{-2x}^{x^2}\int\limits_{0}^{2}y dy dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So with my equation I gave you I subtracted them \[\frac{ x^4 }{ 2 } - 2x^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k, then you do the other integral

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the integral \[\int\limits_{0}^{2} \frac{x^4}{2} -2 x^2 dx\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

outer not other...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I get... 0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really?
