Math Problem Statement

Evaluate integral integral R xy(x + y)dxdy, where R is the region bounded between the parabola y=x² and the line y =x.

Solution

The given double integral is:

I=Rxy(x+y)dxdyI = \iint_R x y (x + y) \, dx \, dy

where the region RR is bounded by the curves y=x2y = x^2 and y=xy = x.

Step 1: Understand the region RR

The curves y=x2y = x^2 and y=xy = x intersect at two points. To find the points of intersection, we set the equations equal to each other:

x2=xx^2 = x

This simplifies to:

x(x1)=0x(x - 1) = 0

So the intersection points are x=0x = 0 and x=1x = 1. Therefore, the region RR is bounded by y=x2y = x^2 (the lower curve) and y=xy = x (the upper curve), for xx ranging from 00 to 11.

Step 2: Set up the limits of integration

The integral is a double integral with respect to xx and yy. The bounds for xx range from 0 to 1, and for each xx, yy ranges from x2x^2 to xx. Therefore, the limits of integration are:

I=01x2xxy(x+y)dydxI = \int_0^1 \int_{x^2}^{x} x y (x + y) \, dy \, dx

Step 3: Simplify the integrand

Expand the integrand xy(x+y)x y (x + y):

xy(x+y)=x2y+xy2x y (x + y) = x^2 y + x y^2

Thus, the integral becomes:

I=01x2x(x2y+xy2)dydxI = \int_0^1 \int_{x^2}^{x} \left( x^2 y + x y^2 \right) \, dy \, dx

Step 4: Integrate with respect to yy

Now, we can integrate each term with respect to yy:

  1. For x2xx2ydy\int_{x^2}^{x} x^2 y \, dy: x2xx2ydy=x2[y22]x2x=x2(x22x42)=x42x62\int_{x^2}^{x} x^2 y \, dy = x^2 \left[ \frac{y^2}{2} \right]_{x^2}^{x} = x^2 \left( \frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^4}{2} \right) = \frac{x^4}{2} - \frac{x^6}{2}

  2. For x2xxy2dy\int_{x^2}^{x} x y^2 \, dy: x2xxy2dy=x[y33]x2x=x(x33x63)=x43x73\int_{x^2}^{x} x y^2 \, dy = x \left[ \frac{y^3}{3} \right]_{x^2}^{x} = x \left( \frac{x^3}{3} - \frac{x^6}{3} \right) = \frac{x^4}{3} - \frac{x^7}{3}

Step 5: Combine the results

Now, combining both results:

I=01(x42x62+x43x73)dxI = \int_0^1 \left( \frac{x^4}{2} - \frac{x^6}{2} + \frac{x^4}{3} - \frac{x^7}{3} \right) \, dx

Step 6: Simplify the integrand

Combine like terms:

I=01(5x46x62x73)dxI = \int_0^1 \left( \frac{5x^4}{6} - \frac{x^6}{2} - \frac{x^7}{3} \right) \, dx

Step 7: Integrate with respect to xx

Now, integrate each term:

  1. For 015x46dx\int_0^1 \frac{5x^4}{6} \, dx: 015x46dx=56[x55]01=56×15=16\int_0^1 \frac{5x^4}{6} \, dx = \frac{5}{6} \left[ \frac{x^5}{5} \right]_0^1 = \frac{5}{6} \times \frac{1}{5} = \frac{1}{6}

  2. For 01x62dx\int_0^1 \frac{x^6}{2} \, dx: 01x62dx=12[x77]01=12×17=114\int_0^1 \frac{x^6}{2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{x^7}{7} \right]_0^1 = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{14}

  3. For 01x73dx\int_0^1 \frac{x^7}{3} \, dx: 01x73dx=13[x88]01=13×18=124\int_0^1 \frac{x^7}{3} \, dx = \frac{1}{3} \left[ \frac{x^8}{8} \right]_0^1 = \frac{1}{3} \times \frac{1}{8} = \frac{1}{24}

Step 8: Combine the results

Now, sum the results:

I=16114124I = \frac{1}{6} - \frac{1}{14} - \frac{1}{24}

To combine these, find a common denominator. The least common denominator of 6, 14, and 24 is 168:

I=28168121687168=28127168=9168=356I = \frac{28}{168} - \frac{12}{168} - \frac{7}{168} = \frac{28 - 12 - 7}{168} = \frac{9}{168} = \frac{3}{56}

Final Answer:

I=356I = \frac{3}{56}
