$\textsf{Reverse the order of integration in the following integral }$

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I&=\int_0^1 \int_2^{2e^x}f(x,y) dydx
\end{align*}
ok tried to follow some examples but 😰
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I&=\int_0^1 \int_?^{?}f(x,y) dxdy
\end{align*}

From the integral we have that $0\leq x\leq 1$ and $2\leq y\leq 2e^x$.

So, we get that $y\leq 2e^x \Rightarrow \frac{y}{2}\leq e^x \Rightarrow \ln \left (\frac{y}{2}\right )\leq x$.

Therefore, we get that $\ln \left (\frac{y}{2}\right )\leq x\leq 1$ and $2\leq y\leq 2e^x\leq 2e^1=2e$.

We have to check if the condition $0 \le x$ still holds. We have that $\ln \left( \frac y 2\right) \ge 0$, so the condition holds.

So, by changing the order of integrals we get the following $$I=\int_2^{2e} \int_{\ln \left (\frac{y}{2}\right )}^1f(x,y) dxdy $$

ok let me try one more that is similar
Reverse the order of integration in the following integral
$\displaystyle\int_{0}^{6} \int_{\sin^{-1}{\frac{y}{6}}}^{^{\frac{\pi}{2}}} f(x,y) \, dx \,dy$
$\textsf{From the integral we have that $0 \le x \le 6$}$
and
$\sin^{-1}{\frac{y}{6}} \le y \le \frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore y \le \frac{\pi}{2}$ and $\sin^{-1}{\frac{y}{6}} \le y$

do we plug $6$ into $\displaystyle \sin^{-1}{\frac{y}{6}}\implies \sin^{-1}{\frac{6}{6}}\implies \frac{\pi}{2}$ ?

From $\displaystyle\int_{0}^{6} \int_{\sin^{-1}{\frac{y}{6}}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} f(x,y) \, dx \,dy$ we have that the inner integral corresponds to the inner differential, $dx$, and the outer intergral to $dy$.

If we use parentheses it will be clearer: $$\int_{0}^{6} \left (\int_{\sin^{-1}{\frac{y}{6}}}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} f(x,y) \, dx \right )\,dy$$ Therefore, we have that $0\leq y\leq 6$ and $\sin^{-1}\frac{y}{6}\leq x\leq \frac{\pi}{2}$.

Try from here to find the new limits.

$\sin^{-1}\frac{y}{6}= x
\implies\sin(x)=\frac{y}{6}
\implies 6\sin(x)=y $
so does $\frac{\pi}{2}=x$.

We have that $0\leq y\leq 6$ and $\sin^{-1}\frac{y}{6}\leq x\leq \frac{\pi}{2}$

We get $\sin^{-1}\frac{y}{6}\leq x \Rightarrow \frac{y}{6}\leq \sin (x) \Rightarrow y\leq 6\sin (x)$ and so $0\leq y\leq 6\sin (x)$ and $0\leq x\leq \frac{\pi}{2}$.

So, we get the double integral $\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \left (\int_{0}^{6\sin (x)} f(x,y) \, dy \right )\,dx$.
 
Hi everybody If we have not any answers for critical points after first partial derivatives equal to zero, how can we continue to find local MAX, local MIN and Saddle point?. For example: Suppose we have below equations for first partial derivatives: ∂ƒ/∂x = y + 5 , ∂ƒ/∂y = 2z , ∂ƒ/∂z = y As you can see, for ∇ƒ= 0 , there are not any answers (undefined)
