This problem involves evaluating a double integral by changing variables. Let me guide you through solving this step-by-step.

Given:

We need to evaluate: $\iint_D (x + y)^2 \, dx \, dy$ where $D = \{(x, y) \in \mathbb{R}^2 \ | \ x^2 + y^2 - x \leq 0, \ x^2 + y^2 - y \geq 0, \ 0 \leq y\}$.

Observations:

1. Region Description:

   • The boundary equations $x^2 + y^2 - x = 0$ and $x^2 + y^2 - y = 0$ describe circles:
     • $x^2 + y^2 = x$: Circle centered at $(1/2, 0)$ with radius $1/2$.
     • $x^2 + y^2 = y$: Circle centered at $(0, 1/2)$ with radius $1/2$.
   • The intersection and region constraints form a lens-shaped region in the first quadrant.

2. Variable Change: A common choice for such regions is polar coordinates or a substitution based on the symmetries of the circle equations.

Step-by-Step Solution:

1. Substitution:

Define new variables: $u = x^2 + y^2, \quad v = \arctan\left(\frac{y}{x}\right)$ This substitution maps the circular region into a simpler rectangular region. The Jacobian determinant will need to be computed to handle the coordinate change.

2. Integral Transformation:

The integrand, $(x + y)^2$, and the region $D$ will also transform. The bounds for $u$ are determined from the radii of the circles:

• $u$ ranges between $1/2$ (the smaller circle) and $1$ (the larger circle).
• $v$ ranges over the angular bounds of the lens-shaped region in the first quadrant.

3. Compute:

Transform the integral to the new coordinates: $\iint_D (x + y)^2 \, dx \, dy = \int \int_{\text{new bounds}} \text{Transformed Integrand} \cdot \text{Jacobian} \, du \, dv$

Would you like me to proceed with the detailed computation, including finding the Jacobian and transforming the integral explicitly?
