MHB 15.1.25 Evaluate the following double integral over the region R

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating a double integral over a specified region R, which initially contains a potential typo in the limits for y. Participants clarify that the correct limits should be "-1 ≤ y ≤ 1" instead of "-1 ≤ y ≤ -1," as the latter describes a line segment rather than a region. The integral is computed step-by-step, revealing that the volume can be calculated through a series of transformations and evaluations. A participant expresses appreciation for the detailed explanation, noting that the process was simpler than anticipated. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately defining the integration limits for proper evaluation.

$\textsf{Evaluate the following double integral over the region R}\\$
$\textit{note: the R actually is supposed be under both Integrals don't know the LaTEX for it}$
\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?

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
