Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the iterated integrals: (a) ∫ from 0 to 3 ∫ from 1 to 2 x^2 y dy dx, (b) ∫ from 1 to 2 ∫ from 0 to 3 x^2 y dx dy

Solution

Let's evaluate the given iterated integrals from the image.

Problem (a):

0312x2ydydx\int_0^3 \int_1^2 x^2 y \, dy \, dx

Step-by-step solution for (a):

  1. First, solve the inner integral with respect to yy (treating x2x^2 as a constant): 12x2ydy=x212ydy\int_1^2 x^2 y \, dy = x^2 \int_1^2 y \, dy Now compute the integral of yy: 12ydy=[y22]12=222122=4212=32\int_1^2 y \, dy = \left[\frac{y^2}{2}\right]_1^2 = \frac{2^2}{2} - \frac{1^2}{2} = \frac{4}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} Therefore, the inner integral becomes: x232=3x22x^2 \cdot \frac{3}{2} = \frac{3x^2}{2}

  2. Now, solve the outer integral with respect to xx: 033x22dx=3203x2dx\int_0^3 \frac{3x^2}{2} \, dx = \frac{3}{2} \int_0^3 x^2 \, dx Compute the integral of x2x^2: 03x2dx=[x33]03=333033=9\int_0^3 x^2 \, dx = \left[\frac{x^3}{3}\right]_0^3 = \frac{3^3}{3} - \frac{0^3}{3} = 9 Therefore, the outer integral becomes: 329=272\frac{3}{2} \cdot 9 = \frac{27}{2} Thus, the value of the integral (a) is: 272\frac{27}{2}


Problem (b):

1203x2ydxdy\int_1^2 \int_0^3 x^2 y \, dx \, dy

Step-by-step solution for (b):

  1. First, solve the inner integral with respect to xx (treating yy as a constant): 03x2ydx=y03x2dx\int_0^3 x^2 y \, dx = y \int_0^3 x^2 \, dx We already know from part (a) that: 03x2dx=9\int_0^3 x^2 \, dx = 9 So, the inner integral becomes: y9=9yy \cdot 9 = 9y

  2. Now, solve the outer integral with respect to yy: 129ydy=912ydy\int_1^2 9y \, dy = 9 \int_1^2 y \, dy Compute the integral of yy: 12ydy=[y22]12=222122=4212=32\int_1^2 y \, dy = \left[\frac{y^2}{2}\right]_1^2 = \frac{2^2}{2} - \frac{1^2}{2} = \frac{4}{2} - \frac{1}{2} = \frac{3}{2} Therefore, the outer integral becomes: 932=2729 \cdot \frac{3}{2} = \frac{27}{2} Thus, the value of the integral (b) is also: 272\frac{27}{2}


Let me know if you would like further details or have any questions!

Here are some related questions to consider:

  1. How do you know when to switch the order of integration in iterated integrals?
  2. How would you evaluate an iterated integral if the limits were dependent on each other?
  3. Can you apply these techniques to triple integrals? How?
  4. What changes if you have a function like x2+y2x^2 + y^2 instead of x2yx^2y?
  5. How do the limits of integration affect the final answer?

Tip: When solving double integrals, always solve the inner integral first, and ensure that you treat the outer variable as a constant while solving the inner integral.
