In summary, The problem involves a function f(x,y)=2x*cos(y^4) and the area D in R^2 defined by 0≤x≤1 and x^(2/3)≤y≤1. The task is to calculate the double integral ∫∫f(x,y)dA and the attempted solutions include using substitution and changing the order of integration. The final answer obtained is 1/4*(sin(1)-sin(x^(8/3))) and the region of integration is inside the square 0<=x<=1 and 0<=y<=1 above the curve y=x^(2/3). The question also involves carefully drawing a sketch of the region and determining the

This was a problem on a final test I took this april in Reykjavík University and I whould be greatful if you could help me with it.

Homework Statement



Let f(x,y)=2x*cos(y^4) be a function and let D be area in R^2 defined by 0≤x≤1 and x^(2/3)≤y≤1.
Calculate the double integer:
∫∫f(x,y)dA

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



∫dx∫2x*cos(y^4)dy
I have tried to use substitution but that doesn´t lead me anywhere.
I also tried to solve it this way...
∫dy∫2x*cos(y^4)dx which leads to...
∫dy*(x^2*cos(y^4)) and when I add in for x...
∫dy*cos(y^4) and if I use substitution now I will get...
1/4*∫cos(u)du and the final answer isn´t sufficient...
1/4*(sin(1)-sin(x^(8/3)))

I would be very greatful if you could help me...

Carefully draw a sketch of the region. Now when you integrate dx, what will be the upper and lower limits of the integration in terms of y?
 
  • #3
the upper limits are 1 and lower limits are x^(2/3) in terms of y
and upper limits are 1 and lower limits are 1 in terms of x

That's not what my picture looks like. The integration dx goes along a horizontal line through the region. It's the part above (above being the positive y direction) the curve x^(2/3)=y. Want to try again?

I have no clue...:S

The region inside of the square 0<=x<=1 and 0<=y<=1 above the curve y=x^(2/3). Pick a value of y and draw a horizontal line. Tell me what the x value is where it crosses the region. It looks to me like it will hit the y-axis first and then the curve, right?

The problem requires you to change the order of integration. The limits that are given have you integrating with respect to y first.
 

FAQ: How to Calculate a Double Integer with a Function in a Given Area?

What is a double integer?

A double integer is a mathematical concept that refers to a number that is twice the value of a regular integer. It is represented by the symbol 2x, where x is any integer.

How do you calculate a double integer?

To calculate a double integer, you simply multiply the given integer by 2. For example, if the integer is 5, the double integer would be 10 (5 x 2 = 10).

What are the properties of double integers?

Double integers have several properties, including being even, divisible by 2, and being the sum of two consecutive integers.

Can a double integer be negative?

Yes, a double integer can be negative. It simply means that the original integer was negative and when doubled, the resulting double integer is also negative.

What is the difference between a double integer and a regular integer?

The main difference between a double integer and a regular integer is that a double integer is twice the value of a regular integer. It also has different properties, such as being divisible by 2 and being the sum of two consecutive integers.
