In summary, Dan tried to solve an equation using antiderivate but when he got to the exponent, he got confused. He wrote \int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-2y^{\frac{2}{3}}} {3}dy which should be \int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{3y}{2}}-2y^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}dy. Petrus also tried to solve the equation but he got the wrong answer. He wrote \frac{4}{9}e^{\frac{3}{2}}-\frac{32}{45} which should be \frac{4

Hello MHB,
I got stuck on one exercise,

\(\displaystyle \int_0^1\int_y^{e^y}\sqrt{x}dxdy\)
So I antiderivate respect to x and get
\(\displaystyle \Bigl[\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3} \Bigr]_y^{e^y}\)
so we got:

\(\displaystyle \int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-2y^{\frac{2}{3}}}{3}\)

So I did try antiderivate that but as soon as I try antiderivate \(\displaystyle 2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}\) I would get \(\displaystyle \frac{2e^{\frac{6y}{3}}}{y}\) and we got zero in our limit that means I done something wrong and I can't see what I done wrong
edit: in the limits it's \(\displaystyle e^y\) it does not look clearly

Regards,

Thanks Dan!
I guess I never notice that I confused myself when I integrated with e but I solved it, here is how I solved it:

\(\displaystyle \int_0^1\int_y^{e^y}\sqrt{x}dxdy\)
So I antiderivate respect to x and get
\(\displaystyle \Bigl[\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3} \Bigr]_y^{e^y}\)
so we got:

\(\displaystyle \int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-2y^{\frac{2}{3}}}{3}dy\)
\(\displaystyle \frac{1}{3} \)\(\displaystyle \Bigl[ 3e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-\frac{6y^{\frac{5}{3}}}{5} \Bigr]_0^1= e^{\frac{2}{3}}-\frac{7}{5}\)

Hello Petrus,

I agree that:

\(\displaystyle \int_y^{e^y}\sqrt{x}\,dx=\frac{2}{3}\left[x^{\frac{3}{2}} \right]_y^{e^y}\)

However, for the next step, I would write:

\(\displaystyle \frac{2}{3}\int_0^1 e^{\frac{3y}{2}}-y^{\frac{3}{2}}\,dy=\frac{2}{3}\left[\frac{2}{3}e^{\frac{3y}{2}}-\frac{2}{5}y^{\frac{5}{2}} \right]_0^1\)

Do you see where you went wrong with the exponents? Can you finish now?

Hello Mark,
I want to thank you for taking your time and checking my soloution!

Now I see what I do misstake. I accident confused myself and did write

\(\displaystyle \int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-2y^{\frac{2}{3}}}
{3}dy\)

while it should be

\(\displaystyle \int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{3y}{2}}-2y^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}dy\)

MarkFL said:
Can you finish now?
Yes I can, I get now the answer \(\displaystyle \frac{4}{9}e^{\frac{3}{2}}-\frac{32}{45}\)

FAQ: MHBSolving Iterated Integral 3 with Antiderivatives

What is an iterated integral?

An iterated integral is a type of definite integral that involves evaluating a function with respect to multiple variables over a specific region. It is written in the form of multiple integrals stacked on top of each other.

How do you solve an iterated integral using antiderivatives?

To solve an iterated integral using antiderivatives, you first need to find the antiderivative of the integrand with respect to the inner variable. Then, you plug in the upper and lower limits of the inner integral into the antiderivative and evaluate it. This result is then used as the integrand for the outer integral, where you repeat the process until you have evaluated all the integrals.

What is the purpose of using antiderivatives in solving iterated integrals?

Using antiderivatives allows us to simplify the process of solving iterated integrals, as it eliminates the need for the use of the fundamental theorem of calculus. It also helps us to find the exact value of the iterated integral, rather than just an approximation.

Can iterated integrals be used to solve real-world problems?

Yes, iterated integrals are commonly used in real-world situations to solve problems related to calculating areas, volumes, and other physical quantities. They are also used in various fields of science, such as physics, engineering, and economics.

Are there any limitations to using antiderivatives in solving iterated integrals?

Yes, there are certain cases where using antiderivatives may not be possible or practical, such as when the integrand is not continuous or when the limits of integration are not well-defined. In these situations, other methods such as numerical integration may be used instead.
