this should be really simple but i can't figure out why i'm getting the wrong answer..... Evaluate the iterated integral ∫2,0∫1,04x^2y^3dxdy

hartnn (hartnn):

you have plugged in the incorrect limits

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's really blurry. i'm gonna try and do another pic.

hartnn (hartnn):

i can see... anyways, the limits for x are 0 to 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (gorv):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{2}\int\limits_{0}^{1}x^2*y^3*dx*dy\]

hartnn (hartnn):

dx dy means first integrate w.r.t x then y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh. how do you know which limit goes with x and which goes with y? the book doesn't really explain that.

OpenStudy (gorv):

yeah u did it right

OpenStudy (gorv):

try interchanging them

OpenStudy (gorv):

first with dx thn with dy

hartnn (hartnn):

the innermost limits goes to the variable you integrate first and dx dy tells you to integrate with x first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so basically, inside with inside and outside with outside?

hartnn (hartnn):

yess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok, thanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

got it. 16/3.

hartnn (hartnn):

good! :)
