Math Problem Statement

calculate the double integral xcos(x+y)da where R is the region 0<=x<=pi/3,0<=y<=pi/4

Solution

We are asked to compute the double integral:

0π30π4xcos(x+y)dydx\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} x \cos(x + y) \, dy \, dx

Step 1: Inner Integral

We first compute the inner integral with respect to yy, treating xx as a constant. We need to solve:

0π4xcos(x+y)dy\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} x \cos(x + y) \, dy

The integral of cos(x+y)\cos(x + y) with respect to yy is:

cos(x+y)dy=sin(x+y)\int \cos(x + y) \, dy = \sin(x + y)

Now, multiply by xx:

0π4xcos(x+y)dy=x[sin(x+y)]0π4\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}} x \cos(x + y) \, dy = x \left[ \sin(x + y) \right]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{4}}

Evaluating at the bounds y=π4y = \frac{\pi}{4} and y=0y = 0:

x[sin(x+π4)sin(x)]x \left[ \sin\left(x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) - \sin(x) \right]

Step 2: Outer Integral

Now, we integrate the result with respect to xx:

0π3x[sin(x+π4)sin(x)]dx\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} x \left[ \sin\left(x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) - \sin(x) \right] \, dx

This expression can be split into two integrals:

0π3xsin(x+π4)dx0π3xsin(x)dx\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} x \sin\left(x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \, dx - \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{3}} x \sin(x) \, dx

We will now compute these two integrals separately.

Step 3: Compute xsin(x+π4)dx\int x \sin\left(x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \, dx

This integral can be computed by substitution. Let:

u=x+π4,du=dxu = x + \frac{\pi}{4}, \quad du = dx

Thus, the integral becomes:

xsin(x+π4)dx=(uπ4)sin(u)du\int x \sin\left(x + \frac{\pi}{4}\right) \, dx = \int (u - \frac{\pi}{4}) \sin(u) \, du

We now solve this using integration by parts and follow the same approach for the second integral.
