Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the problem of reversing the order of integration for a double integral given in the form of \( I = \int_0^8 \int_{\sqrt[3]{x}}^2 \left[\frac{x}{y^7+1}\right] dy \, dx \). Participants explore the process of changing the order of integration and the implications for evaluating the integral.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents the original integral and expresses the need to reverse the order of integration.
  • Another participant suggests plotting the region of integration and notes that the original integral uses vertical strips, indicating the need for horizontal strips instead.
  • A participant derives the new limits of integration as \( 0 \leq x \leq y^3 \) and \( 0 \leq y \leq 2 \), leading to the reformulated integral.
  • Subsequent posts provide a detailed step-by-step evaluation of the integral after reversing the order, arriving at the expression \( \frac{\ln(129)}{14} \).

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the process of reversing the order of integration and the resulting limits, but there is no explicit consensus on the final evaluation of the integral as some participants simply state the result without further discussion.

Contextual Notes

The discussion does not address potential assumptions or limitations in the approach taken to reverse the order of integration or in the evaluation of the integral itself.

solve by reversing the reversing the order of integration
this was given:
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I&=\int_0^8 \int_{\sqrt[3]{x}}^2
\left[\frac{x}{y^7+1}\right]dy \, dx\\
\end{align*}
ok I put this in an dbl int calculor but it turned the order around to
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I&=\int_{\sqrt[3]{x}}^2 \int_0^8
\left[\frac{x}{y^7+1}\right]dy \, dx\\
\end{align*}

So what's your question? :)

I would begin by plotting the region over which we are to integrate:

The integral as given is using vertical strips...and we need to use horizontal strips instead.

In order to reverse the order of integration, we need to observe that we have:

$$0\le x\le y^3$$...the upper limit was obtained from $y=\sqrt[3]{x}$...

$$0\le y\le 2$$

And so we have:

$$I=\int_0^2\int_0^{y^3}\frac{x}{y^7+1}\,dx\,dy$$

Now you will be able to integrate...can you continue?

we got
$\frac{\ln\left({129}\right)}{14}$

Yes:

$$I=\int_0^2\int_0^{y^3}\frac{x}{y^7+1}\,dx\,dy=\int_0^2\frac{1}{y^7+1}\int_0^{y^3}x\,dx\,dy=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^2\frac{1}{y^7+1}\int_0^{y^3}\left[x^2\right]_0^{y^3}\,dy$$

$$I=\frac{1}{2}\int_0^2\frac{y^6}{y^7+1}\,dy=\frac{1}{14}\int_0^2\frac{7y^6}{y^7+1}\,dy=\frac{1}{14}\int_1^{129}\frac{1}{u}\,du=\frac{1}{14}\left[\ln(u)\right]_1^{129}=\frac{1}{14}\ln(129)$$
