15.1.25 Evaluate the following double integral over the region R

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion revolves around evaluating the double integral of the function \(5(x^5 - y^5)^2\) over the region \(R\), which is defined as \([(x,y): 0 \le x \le 1, \, -1 \le y \le -1]\). Participants identified a critical error in the definition of region \(R\), noting that the bounds for \(y\) should be corrected to \(-1 \le y \le 1\) to represent a valid rectangular region. The correct evaluation of the integral yields a volume of \(\frac{20}{11}\). The discussion highlights the importance of accurate region definitions in double integrals.

$\textsf{Evaluate the following double integral over the region R}\\$
$\textit{note: the R actually is supposed be under both Integrals don't know the LaTEX for it}$
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
\int_R\int&=5(x^5 - y^5)^2 dA\\
R&=[(x,y): 0 \le x \le 1, \, -1 \le y \le -1]
\end{align*}

OK pretty new at this and just did a few previous problems
which were double integrals but different

As for the $\LaTeX$, look under the "Calculus/Analysis" section of our Quick $\LaTeX$ tool. You will find it, which gives the code:

\iint\limits_{}

into which you can enter "R":

\iint\limits_{R}

to give:

$$\iint\limits_{R}$$

Now, when you sketch the region $R$, what do you find?

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
&\iint\limits_{R}5(x^5 - y^5)^2 dA\\
R&=[(x,y): 0 \le x \le 1, \, -1 \le y \le -1]
\end{align*}

I don't know why y goes to -1

The region $R$ is a rectangle having the vertices:

$$(0,1),\,(1,1),\,(1,-1),\,(0,-1)$$

One way we can compute the volume is:

$$V=\int_{-1}^{1}\int_0^1 5\left(x^5-y^5\right)^2\,dx\,dy=5\int_{-1}^{1}\int_0^1 x^{10}-2x^5y^5+y^{10}\,dx\,dy=5\int_{-1}^{1}\left[\frac{x^{11}}{11}-\frac{x^6y^5}{3}+xy^{10}\right]_0^1\,dy=$$

$$5\int_{-1}^{1} \frac{1}{11}-\frac{y^5}{3}+y^{10}\,dy=5\left[\frac{y}{11}-\frac{y^6}{18}+\frac{y^{11}}{11}\right]_{-1}^{1}=5\left(\left(\frac{1}{11}-\frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{11}\right)-\left(-\frac{1}{11}-\frac{1}{18}-\frac{1}{11}\right)\right)=\frac{20}{11}$$
 
thank you so much for showing all the steps

I was trying to deal with it without squaring which made it a lot harder

was cool to type in the answer and see the happy green pop up from MML

they have examples but it is really complicated. its tons better just to come here

:cool:

"[math]-1\le y\le -1[/math]" makes no sense. Are you sure it is not supposed to be "[math]-1\le y\le 1[/math]"? As given the "region" of integration is a line segment, not a region at all, and the double integration over that is 0.

Good catch! I didn't even see that...I saw what I expected. :)

it should be $-1 \le y \le 1$
hard to see typo
