Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the double integral \( \int_1^3 \int_0^{2\pi} \sqrt{2r} \, dr \, d\theta \).

Solution

The given double integral can be expressed as:

1302π2rdrdθ\int_1^3 \int_0^{2\pi} \sqrt{2r} \, dr \, d\theta

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Separate the integral: Since the limits for rr and θ\theta are independent, we can separate the integral as: 1302π2rdrdθ=(02π1dθ)(132rdr)\int_1^3 \int_0^{2\pi} \sqrt{2r} \, dr \, d\theta = \left( \int_0^{2\pi} 1 \, d\theta \right) \left( \int_1^3 \sqrt{2r} \, dr \right)

  2. Evaluate the θ\theta-integral: 02π1dθ=θ02π=2π\int_0^{2\pi} 1 \, d\theta = \theta \Big|_0^{2\pi} = 2\pi

  3. Simplify the rr-integral: Rewrite 2r\sqrt{2r} as 2r\sqrt{2} \cdot \sqrt{r}, a constant factor can be taken out: 132rdr=213rdr\int_1^3 \sqrt{2r} \, dr = \sqrt{2} \int_1^3 \sqrt{r} \, dr

  4. Use the power rule for integration: Recall rndr=rn+1n+1\int r^{n} \, dr = \frac{r^{n+1}}{n+1}: [ \int_1^3 \sqrt{r} , dr = \int_1^3 r^{1/2} , dr = \left[ \frac{r^{3/2}}{3/2} \right]_1^3 = \frac{2}{3} \left[ r^{3/2} \right]_1^3 ]

  5. Evaluate the bounds: Substitute r=3r = 3 and r=1r = 1: 23[33/213/2]=23(271)=23(331)\frac{2}{3} \left[ 3^{3/2} - 1^{3/2} \right] = \frac{2}{3} \left( \sqrt{27} - 1 \right) = \frac{2}{3} \left( 3\sqrt{3} - 1 \right)

  6. Combine the results: Multiply the results of the θ\theta-integral and the rr-integral: 1302π2rdrdθ=2π223(331)\int_1^3 \int_0^{2\pi} \sqrt{2r} \, dr \, d\theta = 2\pi \cdot \sqrt{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} \left( 3\sqrt{3} - 1 \right)

  7. Simplify: 4π23(331)\frac{4\pi \sqrt{2}}{3} \left( 3\sqrt{3} - 1 \right)

Final Answer:

4π23(331)\boxed{\frac{4\pi \sqrt{2}}{3} \left( 3\sqrt{3} - 1 \right)}
