    Double Integrals Limits of Integration

    I am just starting to do double integrals and came acorss an issue. I remembered from single integrals when we integrate from limits for say -1 to 1, we can double it and change integration limits to 0 to 1. Now, when is this the case? Basically, when can we not do this?

    How do you find the limits of integration of polar curves?

    Find the area of the region in the plane enclosed by the cardioid r = 4+4\sin{\theta} The book explains that "Because r sweeps out the region as {\theta} goes from 0 to 2{\pi}, these are our limits of integration."
