Find the average value of 𝑓(𝑥,𝑦)=𝑒^𝑦sqrt(6𝑥+𝑒^𝑦)over the rectangle 𝑅=[0,2]×[0,4] .

To find the average value of a function \( f(x, y) = e^y \sqrt{6x + e^y} \) over the rectangle \( R = [0, 2] \times [0, 4] \), we use the formula:

\[
\text{Average value of } f(x, y) = \frac{1}{\text{Area of } R} \iint_R f(x, y) \, dA
\]

### Step 1: Calculate the Area of \( R \)
The rectangle \( R \) has dimensions \( [0, 2] \) in the \( x \)-direction and \( [0, 4] \) in the \( y \)-direction. Thus, the area of \( R \) is:
\[
\text{Area of } R = (2 - 0)(4 - 0) = 8
\]

### Step 2: Set Up the Double Integral
The average value of \( f(x, y) \) over \( R \) is:
\[
\frac{1}{8} \iint_R e^y \sqrt{6x + e^y} \, dA
\]

In rectangular coordinates, this becomes:
\[
\frac{1}{8} \int_0^4 \int_0^2 e^y \sqrt{6x + e^y} \, dx \, dy
\]

### Step 3: Integrate with Respect to \( x \)
To simplify the integral, we first integrate with respect to \( x \):
\[
\int_0^2 e^y \sqrt{6x + e^y} \, dx
\]

Let \( u = 6x + e^y \), so \( du = 6 \, dx \) or \( dx = \frac{du}{6} \).

When \( x = 0 \), \( u = e^y \).
When \( x = 2 \), \( u = 12 + e^y \).

Thus, the integral with respect to \( x \) becomes:
\[
\int_{e^y}^{12 + e^y} e^y \sqrt{u} \cdot \frac{1}{6} \, du = \frac{e^y}{6} \int_{e^y}^{12 + e^y} \sqrt{u} \, du
\]

### Step 4: Solve the Integral
Now, evaluate \( \int \sqrt{u} \, du \):
\[
\int \sqrt{u} \, du = \frac{2}{3} u^{3/2}
\]

Applying this to the limits \( u = e^y \) to \( u = 12 + e^y \):
\[
\frac{e^y}{6} \cdot \frac{2}{3} \left[(12 + e^y)^{3/2} - (e^y)^{3/2}\right] = \frac{e^y}{9} \left[(12 + e^y)^{3/2} - (e^y)^{3/2}\right]
\]

### Step 5: Integrate with Respect to \( y \)
Now we compute:
\[
\frac{1}{8} \int_0^4 \frac{e^y}{9} \left[(12 + e^y)^{3/2} - (e^y)^{3/2}\right] dy
\]

Simplifying, the average value of \( f(x, y) \) is:
\[
\frac{1}{72} \int_0^4 e^y \left[(12 + e^y)^{3/2} - (e^y)^{3/2}\right] \, dy
\]

At this stage, the integral can be evaluated through further substitution or numerical methods.
