15.3.50 Double integral of circle and graph

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on evaluating the double integral of the function $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ over a circular region defined by the limits of integration $\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}$. The result of this integral is confirmed to be $\frac{\pi}{6}$. The use of polar coordinates is recommended for simplification, specifically substituting $x=r\cos\phi$ and $y=r\sin\phi$. Additionally, participants seek guidance on how to graph the region of integration using Desmos.

$\displaystyle
\int_{0}^{1}
\int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}
\sqrt{x^2+y^2}
\, dydx=\frac{\pi}{6}$

this was the W|A answer
but how ?

also supposed to graph this
but didn't know the input for desmos

Hi karush!

The occurrence of $\sqrt{x^2+y^2}$ strongly suggests that polar coordinates are in order.
How about substituting $x=r\cos\phi, y=r\sin\phi$?

As for graphing, I guess we would want to graph the boundaries of the area that we integrate.
Can we tell which function and line segments describe those boundaries, so that we can graph them in Desmos?

$\displaystyle
\int_{0}^{1}
\int_{0}^{r\sin\theta}
\sqrt{r\cos^2\theta+r\sin^2 \theta}
\, d\theta dr$
are you sugesting this
