Evaluate the double integral.

2y2 dA,    D is the triangular region with vertices (0, 1), (1, 2), (4, 1)

D

To evaluate the double integral of \( 2y^2 \) over the triangular region \( D \) with vertices at \( (0, 1) \), \( (1, 2) \), and \( (4, 1) \), we need to determine the limits of integration and set up the integral.

### Step 1: Determine the equation of the lines bounding the region

The triangular region has three edges, which can be defined by the equations of the lines passing through each pair of vertices:

1. **Line between \( (0, 1) \) and \( (4, 1) \)**: 
   - This is a horizontal line with \( y = 1 \).

2. **Line between \( (1, 2) \) and \( (4, 1) \)**: 
   - The slope of the line is 
   \[
   \text{slope} = \frac{1 - 2}{4 - 1} = -\frac{1}{3}.
   \]
   - The equation of the line is:
   \[
   y - 2 = -\frac{1}{3}(x - 1) \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = -\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}.
   \]

3. **Line between \( (0, 1) \) and \( (1, 2) \)**: 
   - The slope is 
   \[
   \text{slope} = \frac{2 - 1}{1 - 0} = 1.
   \]
   - The equation of the line is:
   \[
   y - 1 = 1(x - 0) \quad \Rightarrow \quad y = x + 1.
   \]

### Step 2: Set up the double integral

We will integrate with respect to \( y \) first (vertically), and the limits for \( y \) will depend on \( x \). Specifically:
- For \( x \) between 0 and 1, \( y \) ranges from \( y = x + 1 \) to \( y = 2 \).
- For \( x \) between 1 and 4, \( y \) ranges from \( y = 1 \) to \( y = -\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3} \).

The double integral can thus be written as:
\[
\int_0^1 \int_{x+1}^2 2y^2 \, dy \, dx + \int_1^4 \int_1^{-\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}} 2y^2 \, dy \, dx.
\]

### Step 3: Evaluate the inner integrals

#### First integral:
\[
\int_0^1 \int_{x+1}^2 2y^2 \, dy \, dx.
\]
The inner integral is:
\[
\int_{x+1}^2 2y^2 \, dy = \frac{2y^3}{3} \Big|_{x+1}^2 = \frac{2(2^3) - 2((x+1)^3)}{3} = \frac{16 - 2(x+1)^3}{3}.
\]
Now integrate with respect to \( x \):
\[
\int_0^1 \frac{16 - 2(x+1)^3}{3} \, dx.
\]

#### Second integral:
\[
\int_1^4 \int_1^{-\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}} 2y^2 \, dy \, dx.
\]
The inner integral is:
\[
\int_1^{-\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}} 2y^2 \, dy = \frac{2y^3}{3} \Big|_1^{-\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{5}{3}}.
\]
Now integrate this with respect to \( x \).

### Step 4: Combine the results

Add the results of both integrals to get the final answer.
