Need help with a double integral. Problem in comments. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{}^{}\int\limits_{}^{} 2xydxdy\] Over D={(x,y);2<=x<=3,sqrt(2+x)<=y<=sqrt(6+9x)}

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How do I substitute to make a pleasant domain?

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Let me help you with that... \[\Large \iint\limits_R 2xy \ dA\]\[\Large \int\limits_{2}^{3}\int\limits_{\sqrt{2+x}}^{\sqrt{6+9x}{}}2xy \ dydx\] My my, that IS ugly. Let me stare at it for a while longer...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

dx dy is the original eh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:-)

OpenStudy (amistre64):

after all x(sqrt(f(x)))^2 is simple enough :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't follow what you're saying. :D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\Large \int\limits_{2}^{3}\int\limits_{\sqrt{2+x}}^{\sqrt{6+9x}{}}2xy \ dydx\] \[\Large \int\limits_{2}^{3}x[(\sqrt{6+9x})^2-(\sqrt{2+x})^2] \ dx\] sooo, dydx is simple, but your post starts as dxdy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you allowed to just do iterated integration like that and throw in the expressions?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

that IS what an iterated integartion is ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I've never done it just throwing in the variables. :D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\int_{a}^{b}\int_{q}^{p}~xy~dydx\] \[\int_{a}^{b}\left[\int_{q}^{p}~xy~dy\right]dx\] since x is constant wrt.y \[\int_{a}^{b}x\left[\int_{q}^{p}~y~dy\right]dx\] \[\int_{a}^{b}x\left[g(p)-g(q)\right]dx\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the question is the order of integration ... your original is dx then dy, terenz posted it as dy then dx

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Does it really make a difference, though? :3 If you even try to integrate with respect to x first, you'll end up with x again... surely that's not how it should happen D:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can be dydx if you so like as the domain is not inserted yet.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Something along the lines of multiplication is commutative... not sure if it works with differentials such as dy and dx though, but meh :/

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the order makes a difference most of the time yes. that is why when you swap the order you have to reassess the limits

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i think it has something to do with a Jacobian ...

OpenStudy (amistre64):

but if you simply had dA to start with, and your limits were defined, then im sure your original dxdy was just a typing error

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The problem says dxdy but when you have not inserted the integration intervals, the order of it doesn't matter; however when you do insert them you have to make sure you have dy corresponding to the right integral.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Unless you can convince me otherwise :D
