double integration


could someone please check my work on the following problem:

Find the volume under [itex]z= 2x + y^2[/itex] and above the region bounded by [itex]x= y^2[/itex] and [itex]x= y^3[/itex].

endpoints of region: (0,0) and (1,1)
[tex] V = \int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{1} (2x + y^2) \,dx\,dy = \int_{0}^{1} [x^2 + xy^2]|_{0}^{1}\,dy = (x^2 y + \frac{1}{3}xy^2)|_{(0,0)}^{(1,1)} = \frac{4}{3} [/tex]

Shouldn't the points be in 3D...?And the integral be a triple one...?

you set your limits point incorrectly, they do not only depend on the end points, (0,0) and (1,1), but also depend on the curve x=y^2 and x=y^3

[quote]And the integral be a triple one...?[/tex]
can you explain your thought?

double integration


Shouldn't the volume of a domain D from R^{3} have the following form:
[tex] V_{D}=\iiint_{D} dx \ dy \ dz [/tex]

So it should be:
[tex]V = \int_{0}^{1}\int_{y^3}^{y^2} (2x + y^2) \,dx\,dy = \int_{0}^{1} [x^2 + xy^2]|_{y^3}^{y^2}\,dy = \int_{0}^{1} [(y^4 - y^4) - (y^6 - y^5)]\,dy = \int_{0}^{1} y^5 - y^6 \,dy = [\frac{1}{6}y^6 - \frac{1}{7}y^7]|_{0}^{1} = \fract{1}{6} - \frac{1}{7} = \frac{1}{42} ?[/tex]

Somewhat confused.

Are u sure that the values of the square (y²) are less than the values of the cube (y³) ...?If so,then the first integral is correct.Unfortunately,the 3-rd integral is incorrect,and hence everything that follows.

Daniel.

P.S.Pay attention to the signs.

This is what it should be. Keep in mind that you first integrate to x and then to y. This is because x is given as a function of y and NOT the other way around. In your figure, you need to look at the Y-axis as the HORIZONTAL axis (rotation of 90°). Then you will see that for y going from 0 to 1, the y^3 is ABOVE the y^2

What...? What's your definition for "ABOVE"...?

To the OP:disregard Marlon's post.Your integration (the one you started with was good,the arithmetics that followed was sloppy).

Daniel.

this is what it should be ... I was wrong. Sorry bout that. I mixed the two functions

okay i fixed the math in
[tex]V = \int_{0}^{1}\int_{y^3}^{y^2} (2x + y^2) \,dx\,dy[/tex]

and got 4/3. I think this is right.

Nope,My Maple says it's wrong.It should come down to [tex] \frac{19}{210} [/tex]

Check this step again.

OMG stupid arithmetic

[tex] \int_{0}^{1} [x^2 + xy^2]|_{y^3}^{y^2}\,dy = \int_{0}^{1} [(y^4 + y^4) - (y^6 + y^5)]\,dy = (\frac{2}{5}y^5 - \frac{1}{7}y^7 - \frac{1}{6}y^6)|_{0}^{1} = \frac{19}{210} [/tex]

Finally. Thanks guys.
