15.1.25 Evaluate the following double integral over the region R

In summary, we are asked to evaluate a double integral over the region $R$ given by $0 \le x \le 1$ and $-1 \le y \le 1$. The integrand is $5(x^5 - y^5)^2$ and the region is a rectangle with vertices (0,1), (1,1), (1,-1), and (0,-1). The double integral over this region is equal to $\frac{20}{11}$. The region is incorrectly stated in the original conversation as $-1 \le y \le -1$, which is a line segment and would result in a double integral of 0.

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

\(\displaystyle \iint\limits_{R}\)

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:

\(\displaystyle (0,1),\,(1,1),\,(1,-1),\,(0,-1)\)

One way we can compute the volume is:

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

\(\displaystyle 5\int_{-1}^{1} \frac{1}{11}-\frac{y^5}{3}+y^{10}\,dy=5\left[\frac{y}{11}-\frac{y^6}{18}+\frac{y^{11}}{11}\right]_{-1}^{1}=5\left(\left(\frac{1}{11}-\frac{1}{18}+\frac{1}{11}\right)-\left(-\frac{1}{11}-\frac{1}{18}-\frac{1}{11}\right)\right)=\frac{20}{11}\)

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:

"\(\displaystyle -1\le y\le -1\)" makes no sense. Are you sure it is not supposed to be "\(\displaystyle -1\le y\le 1\)"? 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
 

Related to 15.1.25 Evaluate the following double integral over the region R

1. What is a double integral?

A double integral is a type of integral in calculus that involves finding the volume under a surface over a specific region in two-dimensional space. It is represented by the symbol ∫∫f(x,y) dA and is used to calculate the area or volume of irregular shapes or surfaces.

2. What does it mean to evaluate a double integral?

Evaluating a double integral means finding the numerical value of the integral by solving the integral expression using mathematical techniques such as substitution, integration by parts, or using a calculator. It gives the final answer of the integral in a specific format, either as a number or a function.

3. How is a double integral evaluated over a region?

To evaluate a double integral over a region, the region must be divided into smaller subregions. Then, the integral is calculated over each subregion and the results are added together to get the final answer. This process is known as the method of double integration or iterated integration.

4. What is the purpose of evaluating a double integral over a region?

The purpose of evaluating a double integral over a region is to find the volume under a surface or the area of an irregular shape in two-dimensional space. It is used in various fields such as physics, engineering, economics, and statistics to solve real-world problems involving area or volume.

5. What are some techniques used to evaluate double integrals?

Some techniques used to evaluate double integrals include the method of substitution, integration by parts, and using a calculator or computer software. Other techniques such as using polar coordinates, changing the order of integration, and using special properties of the integrand can also be used to simplify the evaluation process.
