In summary, The integral of x times the exponential of xy is being evaluated over a region R, where R is defined as the set of all points (x,y) such that both x and y are greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. The question is asking for help in determining the limits for both x and y in order to perform the integration. The solution is to consider the limits for x and y separately, with the limits being 0 and 1 for both variables.

Evaluate ∫∫xexp(xy)dA,
and R (over which the integrand is to be integrated) is {(x,y)|0≤x,y≤1}.
Could someone explain how this is to be done.

hi hivesaeed4! :wink:

dA = dxdy

try integrating wrt y first :smile:

My Bad. What I meant was what are the limits we should take for x and y. We are given one limit (either upper or lower limit) in each case. How do we find the second one for both x and y?

oh i see! :biggrin:

no, {(x,y)|0≤x,y≤1} is two limits …

the limits apply to both x and y (separately) :wink:

Look, let me tell you how I see the limits and correct me if I'm wrong.

The lower limit of x is 0. We have to find its upper limit.

The upper limit of y is 1. We have to find its lower limit.

The reason we have to find the upper limit of x and lower limit of y is that they are required for the integration.

Correct?

Also, please tell me how to find the upper limit of x and lower limit of y.

no, {(x,y)|0≤x,y≤1} is a shorthand way of saying {(x,y)|0≤x≤1} and {(x,y)|0≤y≤1} :wink:

Thanks tiny-tim. Thanks alot. That question had me very confused.
 

FAQ: How to Evaluate Difficult Double Integrals with Limits in the Range of 0 to 1?

What is a double integral?

A double integral is a type of integral that involves calculating the area under a 3D surface. It is essentially the sum of infinitely many small rectangles that make up the surface.

What makes double integrals difficult?

Double integrals can be difficult because they involve multiple variables and can require complex mathematical techniques to solve. The shape of the surface and the limits of integration can also make the integral more challenging to solve.

What techniques can be used to solve difficult double integrals?

There are several techniques that can be used to solve difficult double integrals, including substitution, integration by parts, and using polar coordinates. It is important to carefully choose the most appropriate technique for the given integral.

How can I check if my solution to a double integral is correct?

You can check your solution by using an online calculator or by graphing the original function and the integral to see if they match. Additionally, you can differentiate your solution to see if it matches the original function.

Are there any real-world applications of double integrals?

Yes, double integrals are used in many fields of science and engineering to calculate physical quantities such as volume, mass, and center of mass. They are also used in economics and statistics for calculating probabilities and expected values.
