Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the double integral: \(\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{y} (xy + y^2) \, dx \, dy\).

Solution

The given expression represents a double integral:

010y(xy+y2)dxdy\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{y} (xy + y^2) \, dx \, dy

Step 1: Evaluate the inner integral (with respect to xx)

We first compute the integral of (xy+y2)(xy + y^2) with respect to xx, treating yy as a constant.

0y(xy+y2)dx\int_0^y (xy + y^2) \, dx

Separate the terms inside the integral:

=0yxydx+0yy2dx= \int_0^y xy \, dx + \int_0^y y^2 \, dx

Now integrate each term:

  1. 0yxydx=x2y20y=y32\int_0^y xy \, dx = \frac{x^2 y}{2} \bigg|_0^y = \frac{y^3}{2}
  2. 0yy2dx=y2x0y=y3\int_0^y y^2 \, dx = y^2 x \bigg|_0^y = y^3

Thus, the inner integral becomes:

y32+y3=3y32\frac{y^3}{2} + y^3 = \frac{3y^3}{2}

Step 2: Evaluate the outer integral (with respect to yy)

Now, we compute the outer integral:

013y32dy\int_0^1 \frac{3y^3}{2} \, dy

Factor out 32\frac{3}{2}:

3201y3dy\frac{3}{2} \int_0^1 y^3 \, dy

The integral of y3y^3 is:

01y3dy=y4401=14\int_0^1 y^3 \, dy = \frac{y^4}{4} \bigg|_0^1 = \frac{1}{4}

Thus, the outer integral becomes:

32×14=38\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{8}

Final Answer:

The value of the double integral is 38\frac{3}{8}.
