Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the following double integral by correctly switching the bounds of inte- gration and evaluating the resulting integral in the order dydx 1Z 0 3Z 3y sin(x2)dxd

Solution

The given integral is:

013y3sin(x2)dxdy\int_0^1 \int_{3y}^3 \sin(x^2) \, dx \, dy

To solve this double integral, we first need to switch the bounds of integration and then evaluate the resulting integral in the order dydxdy\, dx.

Step 1: Understanding the region of integration

The bounds of the given integral are as follows:

  • yy ranges from 0 to 1: 0y10 \leq y \leq 1
  • For a fixed yy, xx ranges from 3y3y to 3: 3yx33y \leq x \leq 3

This describes a region in the xyxy-plane, and our goal is to switch the order of integration to evaluate the integral more easily.

Step 2: Determine the new bounds after switching

In terms of the variable xx, notice that:

  • xx goes from 0 to 3: 0x30 \leq x \leq 3
  • For a fixed xx, yy ranges from 00 to x/3x/3: 0yx/30 \leq y \leq x/3

Step 3: Rewrite the double integral

After switching the bounds of integration, we have:

030x/3sin(x2)dydx\int_0^3 \int_0^{x/3} \sin(x^2) \, dy \, dx

Step 4: Evaluate the inner integral

The inner integral is with respect to yy, and since sin(x2)\sin(x^2) is independent of yy, it can be factored out:

0x/3sin(x2)dy=sin(x2)(x30)=x3sin(x2)\int_0^{x/3} \sin(x^2) \, dy = \sin(x^2) \cdot \left( \frac{x}{3} - 0 \right) = \frac{x}{3} \sin(x^2)

Step 5: Evaluate the outer integral

Now, we need to evaluate the remaining integral with respect to xx:

03x3sin(x2)dx\int_0^3 \frac{x}{3} \sin(x^2) \, dx

To solve this integral, we use the substitution:

  • Let u=x2u = x^2, so that du=2xdxdu = 2x \, dx, or du2=xdx\frac{du}{2} = x \, dx.

This transforms the integral into:

1309sin(u)2du=1609sin(u)du\frac{1}{3} \int_0^9 \frac{\sin(u)}{2} \, du = \frac{1}{6} \int_0^9 \sin(u) \, du

Step 6: Solve the integral

The integral of sin(u)\sin(u) is cos(u)-\cos(u), so we get:

16[cos(u)]09=16(cos(9)+cos(0))\frac{1}{6} \left[ -\cos(u) \right]_0^9 = \frac{1}{6} \left( -\cos(9) + \cos(0) \right)

Since cos(0)=1\cos(0) = 1, the result is:

16(cos(9)+1)\frac{1}{6} \left( -\cos(9) + 1 \right)

Final Answer:

The value of the double integral is:

16(1cos(9))\frac{1}{6} \left( 1 - \cos(9) \right)
