Math Problem Statement

do this correctly

Convert the integral \( \int_0^1 \int_y^{\sqrt{2y - y^2}} 4 \, dx \, dy \) to polar coordinates and evaluate the integral.

Solution

To solve this problem, we need to convert the given integral into polar coordinates and evaluate it. The integral is as follows:

01y2yy24dxdy\int_0^1 \int_y^{\sqrt{2y - y^2}} 4 \, dx \, dy

Step 1: Interpret the Region in Cartesian Coordinates

The integral is defined over the region bounded by yy and 2yy2\sqrt{2y - y^2} in the xx-direction, and from y=0y = 0 to y=1y = 1 in the yy-direction. To convert this to polar coordinates, let's analyze the boundary x=2yy2x = \sqrt{2y - y^2}.

Rewrite x=2yy2x = \sqrt{2y - y^2} as follows: x2=2yy2x^2 = 2y - y^2 x2+y2=2yx^2 + y^2 = 2y x2+y22y=0x^2 + y^2 - 2y = 0 Complete the square: x2+(y1)2=1x^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 1

This equation represents a circle of radius 1 centered at (0,1)(0, 1) in Cartesian coordinates.

Step 2: Set up the Integral in Polar Coordinates

In polar coordinates:

  • x=rcosθx = r \cos \theta
  • y=rsinθy = r \sin \theta
  • The area element dxdy=rdrdθdx \, dy = r \, dr \, d\theta

The circle centered at (0,1)(0, 1) with radius 1 implies that rr ranges from 0 to 2\cosθ
