Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the iterated integral I = ∫[0 to 1] ∫[1-y to 1+y] (6y^2 + 14x) dx dy

Solution

The problem asks to evaluate the iterated integral:

I=011y1+y(6y2+14x)dxdyI = \int_0^1 \int_{1-y}^{1+y} \left( 6y^2 + 14x \right) dx \, dy

Step-by-Step Solution:

  1. Inner integral (with respect to xx):

    For the inner integral, we are integrating with respect to xx first, while treating yy as a constant. The inner integral is:

    1y1+y(6y2+14x)dx\int_{1-y}^{1+y} \left( 6y^2 + 14x \right) dx

    Split this into two integrals:

    =1y1+y6y2dx+1y1+y14xdx= \int_{1-y}^{1+y} 6y^2 \, dx + \int_{1-y}^{1+y} 14x \, dx

    • For the first integral 1y1+y6y2dx\int_{1-y}^{1+y} 6y^2 \, dx, since 6y26y^2 is a constant with respect to xx, the result is:

      6y2((1+y)(1y))=6y2(2y)=12y36y^2 \cdot \left( (1+y) - (1-y) \right) = 6y^2 \cdot (2y) = 12y^3

    • For the second integral 1y1+y14xdx\int_{1-y}^{1+y} 14x \, dx, apply the power rule:

      [7x2]1y1+y=7((1+y)2(1y)2)\left[ 7x^2 \right]_{1-y}^{1+y} = 7 \left( (1+y)^2 - (1-y)^2 \right)

      Use the difference of squares formula:

      (1+y)2(1y)2=((1+y)(1y))((1+y)+(1y))=2y2=4y(1+y)^2 - (1-y)^2 = \left( (1+y) - (1-y) \right) \cdot \left( (1+y) + (1-y) \right) = 2y \cdot 2 = 4y

      So the result of the second integral is:

      74y=28y7 \cdot 4y = 28y

  2. Result of the inner integral:

    The result of the inner integral is:

    12y3+28y12y^3 + 28y

  3. Outer integral (with respect to yy):

    Now integrate the result of the inner integral with respect to yy:

    01(12y3+28y)dy\int_0^1 (12y^3 + 28y) \, dy

    Split this into two integrals:

    0112y3dy+0128ydy\int_0^1 12y^3 \, dy + \int_0^1 28y \, dy

    • For the first integral 0112y3dy\int_0^1 12y^3 \, dy, apply the power rule:

      [12y44]01=3y401=3(1)43(0)4=3\left[ 12 \cdot \frac{y^4}{4} \right]_0^1 = 3y^4 \Big|_0^1 = 3(1)^4 - 3(0)^4 = 3

    • For the second integral 0128ydy\int_0^1 28y \, dy, apply the power rule:

      [28y22]01=14y201=14(1)214(0)2=14\left[ 28 \cdot \frac{y^2}{2} \right]_0^1 = 14y^2 \Big|_0^1 = 14(1)^2 - 14(0)^2 = 14

  4. Final result:

    Adding the two results together:

    I=3+14=17I = 3 + 14 = 17

So, the value of the iterated integral is 17\boxed{17}.
