SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on reversing the order of integration for the double integral \( I = \int_0^8 \int_{\sqrt[3]{x}}^2 \left[\frac{x}{y^7+1}\right] dy \, dx \). Participants identified that the original integral used vertical strips and needed to be transformed to horizontal strips. The correct formulation after reversing the order is \( I = \int_0^2 \int_0^{y^3} \frac{x}{y^7+1} \, dx \, dy \), leading to the final result of \( \frac{\ln(129)}{14} \).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of double integrals in calculus
  • Familiarity with the concept of reversing the order of integration

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:

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

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