Activity 12.4.2

Let DD be the region inside the unit circle centered at the origin, let RR be the right half of DD, and let BB be the bottom half of DD.

  1. On three separate plots, graph and label the regions DD, RR, and BB.

  2. For each double integral below, decide without calculation whether the double integral is positive, negative, or zero. Write a sentence or two to explain your answer for each part.

    1. ∬D  1  dA\iint_D \; 1\; dA
    2. ∬D  x  dA\iint_D \; x \; dA
    3. ∬B  x  dA\iint_B \; x \; dA

Exercise 19

For each of the following iterated integrals,

  • sketch the region of integration,

  • write an equivalent iterated integral expression in the opposite order of integration,

  • choose one of the two orders and evaluate the integral.

  1. ∫x=0x=1∫y=x2y=xxy dy dx\int_{x=0}^{x=1} \int_{y=x^2}^{y=x} xy \, dy \, dx

  2. ∫y=0y=2∫x=−4−y2x=0xy dx dy\int_{y=0}^{y=2} \int_{x=-\sqrt{4-y^2}}^{x=0} xy \, dx \, dy

  3. ∫x=0x=1∫y=x4y=x1/4x+y dy dx\int_{x=0}^{x=1} \int_{y=x^4}^{y=x^{1/4}} x+y \, dy \, dx

Exercise 21

Consider the solid that is given by the following description: the base is the given region DD, while the top is given by the surface z=p(x,y)z = p(x,y). In each setting below, set up, but do not evaluate, an iterated integral whose value is the exact volume of the solid. Include a labeled sketch of DD in each case.

  1. DD is the interior of the quarter circle of radius 2, centered at the origin, that lies in the second q…
