Exercise 21

Avg difficulty 2.5

For each of the following iterated integrals,

  • sketch and label the region of integration,

  • convert the integral to the other coordinate system (if given in polar, to rectangular; if given in rectangular, to polar), and

  • choose one of the two iterated integrals to evaluate exactly.

  1. ∫π3π/2∫03r3 dr dθ\int_{\pi}^{3\pi/2} \int_{0}^{3} r^3 \, dr \, d\theta

  2. ∫02∫−1−(x−1)21−(x−1)2x2+y2 dy dx\int_{0}^{2} \int_{-\sqrt{1-(x-1)^2}}^{\sqrt{1-(x-1)^2}} \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \, dy \, dx

  3. ∫0π/2∫0sin⁡(θ)r1−r2 dr dθ.\int_0^{\pi/2} \int_0^{\sin(\theta)} r \sqrt{1-r^2} \, dr \, d\theta.

  4. ∫02/2∫y1−y2cos⁡(x2+y2) dx dy.\int_0^{\sqrt{2}/2} \int_y^{\sqrt{1-y^2}} \cos(x^2 + y^2) \, dx \, dy.
