Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the double integral \( \int_0^1 \int_0^x e^x \, dy \, dx \).

Solution

The integral shown in the image is:

010xexdydx\int_0^1 \int_0^x e^x \, dy \, dx

Steps to solve:

  1. Inner Integral: First, solve the inner integral with respect to yy: 0xexdy\int_0^x e^x \, dy Since exe^x is independent of yy, we treat it as a constant: 0xexdy=ex[y]0x=ex(x0)=xex\int_0^x e^x \, dy = e^x \cdot \left[y \right]_0^x = e^x \cdot (x - 0) = x e^x

  2. Outer Integral: Now integrate the result with respect to xx: 01xexdx\int_0^1 x e^x \, dx To solve this, we use integration by parts:

    • Let u=xu = x, so du=dxdu = dx.
    • Let dv=exdxdv = e^x \, dx, so v=exv = e^x.

    Using the integration by parts formula: udv=uvvdu\int u \, dv = uv - \int v \, du we get: 01xexdx=[xex]0101exdx\int_0^1 x e^x \, dx = \left[ x e^x \right]_0^1 - \int_0^1 e^x \, dx The first part evaluates to: [xex]01=(1e1)(0e0)=e\left[ x e^x \right]_0^1 = (1 \cdot e^1) - (0 \cdot e^0) = e The second part is: 01exdx=[ex]01=e1\int_0^1 e^x \, dx = \left[ e^x \right]_0^1 = e - 1 Therefore, the solution to the outer integral is: e(e1)=1e - (e - 1) = 1

Final Answer:

010xexdydx=1\int_0^1 \int_0^x e^x \, dy \, dx = 1
