Integrate polynomials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i typed out then lost it\

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll start again, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{-1}^{1}\int\limits_{-\sqrt{1-x ^{2}}}^{\sqrt{1-x ^{2}}}\frac{ 2dydx }{ (1+x ^{2}+y ^{2})^{2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Evaluate the integrals by changing to polar coordinates.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know r^2=y^2+x^2=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's a cirlce radius 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, you just need to substitute dy and dx in the integral in terms of polar coordinates. use y=r sin and x = r cos to differentiate...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm getting lost on the limits how do we determine those?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

put x = rcos^2 theta. since r=1 you get x=cos^2theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it reduces to sin theta for upper limit and -sin theta for lower limit.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know x=r cos theta and y=r sin theta why are you saying x = rcos^2 theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant x^2=cos^2 theta

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about conversion of the outer limits to polar angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer thay have given is pi

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

try \[ \int \limits_0^{2\pi} \int \limits_0^1 \dfrac{2}{(1+r^2)^2} r dr d\theta \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

you're integrating over a unit disk so the bounds will be : theta : 0->2pi r : 0->1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do we get that information from the question?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first, sketch the region represented by given bounds

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\[\int\limits_{-1}^{1}\int\limits_{-\sqrt{1-x ^{2}}}^{\sqrt{1-x ^{2}}}\frac{ 2dydx }{ (1+x ^{2}+y ^{2})^{2} } \]

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

sketch below curves : x= -1 x = 1 y = -sqrt(1-x^2) y = sqrt(1+x^2)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

the bounded region of above curves is the region over which you're integrating the integrand

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

|dw:1398928828671:dw|
