15.2.78 But it asks for a double integral

In summary, the area of the region bounded by $y=4+4\sin{x}$ and $y=4-4\sin{x}$ on the interval $\left[0,\pi\right]$ can be computed using a double integral of $\int_0^\pi\int_{4-4\sin x}^{4+4\sin x}dy\,dx$.

Use double integral to compute the area of the region
bounded by $y=4+4\sin{x}$ and $y=4-4\sin{x}$
on the interval $\left[0,\pi\right]$

ok it looks easier to do this in one $\int$ but it asks for a double $\int\int$ so ?

$$\int_0^\pi\int_{4-4\sin x}^{4+4\sin x}dy\,dx$$ Okay, it's just a single integral in disguise, but formally it's a double integral.

1. What is a double integral?

A double integral is a mathematical concept used to find the volume under a curved surface in a three-dimensional space. It involves integrating a function of two variables over a two-dimensional region.

2. How is a double integral different from a single integral?

A single integral involves finding the area under a curve in a one-dimensional space, while a double integral involves finding the volume under a curved surface in a three-dimensional space.

3. What is the purpose of using a double integral?

A double integral is used to calculate the volume of a solid or the area of a curved surface in a three-dimensional space. It is also used in many real-life applications, such as in physics, engineering, and economics.

4. How do you solve a double integral?

To solve a double integral, you first need to determine the limits of integration for both variables. Then, you can use the appropriate integration techniques, such as the method of slices or the method of cylindrical shells, to evaluate the integral.

5. What are some common mistakes to avoid when solving a double integral?

Some common mistakes to avoid when solving a double integral include forgetting to change the variables, not using the correct limits of integration, and not considering the order of integration. It is also important to carefully evaluate the integral and check for any errors in calculation.
