Math Problem Statement

Estimate the double integral of f(x, y) = xy^2 over the rectangle R = [0, 3] × [1, 3] using Riemann sums with m = 2, n = 2 and different sampling methods. Also, find the exact integral value and the average value of the function over the region.

Solution

The image you uploaded appears to show a problem involving the double integral of a function f(x,y)=xy2f(x, y) = x y^2 over a rectangle R=[0,3]×[1,3]R = [0, 3] \times [1, 3]. Let's break down and solve the questions presented in the image:

1. Estimate the double integral using a Riemann sum with m=2m = 2, n=2n = 2, and upper-right corners for the rectangles.

We will approximate the double integral using a Riemann sum, where we divide the rectangle RR into smaller subrectangles. For m=2m = 2 and n=2n = 2, this divides the interval [0,3][0, 3] into two subintervals of length 1.5 each, and the interval [1,3][1, 3] into two subintervals of length 1 each.

The upper-right corner means we will evaluate the function f(x,y)f(x, y) at the top-right corner of each subrectangle.

Let's calculate the sum:

  • The subintervals in xx are [0,1.5][0, 1.5] and [1.5,3][1.5, 3]
  • The subintervals in yy are [1,2][1, 2] and [2,3][2, 3]

We evaluate f(x,y)=xy2f(x, y) = x y^2 at the points (1.5,2),(1.5,3),(3,2),(3,3)(1.5, 2), (1.5, 3), (3, 2), (3, 3).

2. Estimate the double integral using a Riemann sum with m=2m = 2, n=2n = 2, and the Midpoint Rule.

For the Midpoint Rule, we need to evaluate f(x,y)f(x, y) at the midpoints of each subrectangle. The midpoints of the subrectangles are:

  • (0.75,1.5),(0.75,2.5),(2.25,1.5),(2.25,2.5)\left( 0.75, 1.5 \right), \left( 0.75, 2.5 \right), \left( 2.25, 1.5 \right), \left( 2.25, 2.5 \right)
  • Then evaluate the function at these points and sum.

3. Find the exact value of the double integral.

To find the exact value, we need to compute the integral of f(x,y)=xy2f(x, y) = x y^2 over the region R=[0,3]×[1,3]R = [0, 3] \times [1, 3]. We integrate f(x,y)f(x, y) first with respect to xx and then with respect to yy.

13(03xy2dx)dy\int_{1}^{3} \left( \int_{0}^{3} x y^2 \, dx \right) dy

4. Find the average value of f(x,y)f(x, y) over RR.

The average value of a function over a region RR is given by:

Average value=1Area of RRf(x,y)dA\text{Average value} = \frac{1}{\text{Area of } R} \int \int_{R} f(x, y) \, dA

We will compute this using the exact integral result from question 3.
