Math Problem Statement

Evaluate the following integrals by changing the order of integration: (i) \int_0^{4a} \int_{x^2/(4a)}^{\sqrt{x}} 2\sqrt{x} \, dy \, dx (ii) \int_0^1 \int_x^{\sqrt{2-x^2}} \frac{xy}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} \, dy \, dx (iii) \int_0^a \int_{x/\alpha}^{\sqrt{x/\alpha}} (x^2 + y^2) \, dx \, dy (iv) \int_0^1 \int_{x^2}^{x} \left( x^2 + y^2 \right)^{-1/2} \, dy \, dx

Solution

The problem you've uploaded asks to evaluate integrals by changing the order of integration. Let's break down the steps for each integral to solve them effectively by reversing the order of integration.

(i)

04ax2/(4a)x2xdydx\int_0^{4a} \int_{x^2/(4a)}^{\sqrt{x}} 2\sqrt{x} \, dy \, dx

Reversing the order of integration:

  1. For the inner limits of yy, the bounds are x24a\frac{x^2}{4a} and x\sqrt{x}.

  2. To reverse, express xx in terms of yy:

    • y=x24a    x=2ayy = \frac{x^2}{4a} \implies x = 2\sqrt{a y}
    • y=x    x=y2y = \sqrt{x} \implies x = y^2

    So the bounds for xx change from 00 to 4a4a, and yy changes from 00 to 2ay2\sqrt{a y}.

    Now, we rewrite the integral with the new limits and then proceed to solve it.

(ii)

01x2x2xyx2+y2dydx\int_0^1 \int_x^{\sqrt{2-x^2}} \frac{xy}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} \, dy \, dx

Reversing the order of integration:

  1. Inner integral is over yy, where the limits are xx to 2x2\sqrt{2 - x^2}.

  2. Express xx in terms of yy. You will need to carefully analyze how the bounds change in terms of yy.

    Once the limits are changed, you can proceed to solve the integral.

(iii)

0ax/αx/α(x2+y2)dxdy\int_0^a \int_{x/\alpha}^{\sqrt{x/\alpha}} (x^2 + y^2) \, dx \, dy

Reversing the order of integration:

  1. Inner limits of xx depend on yy, with limits from xα\frac{x}{\alpha} to xα\sqrt{\frac{x}{\alpha}}.
  2. After reversing the limits, the integral will become solvable by standard techniques.

(iv)

01x2x(x2+y2)1/2dydx\int_0^1 \int_{x^2}^{x} \left( x^2 + y^2 \right)^{-1/2} \, dy \, dx

Reversing the order of integration:

  1. The inner integral is yy-dependent, with limits from x2x^2 to xx.
  2. To reverse the order, express the relationship between xx and yy, and adjust the bounds accordingly.

Once the bounds are reversed for all integrals, you can evaluate them.
