MHB 15.3.50 Double integral of circle and graph

Click For Summary
The double integral $\int_{0}^{1} \int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}} \sqrt{x^2+y^2} \, dy \, dx$ evaluates to $\frac{\pi}{6}$, indicating a connection to polar coordinates. Substituting $x = r\cos\phi$ and $y = r\sin\phi$ is suggested to simplify the integration. For graphing in Desmos, the focus should be on the boundaries of the integration area, which can be defined by the circle equation and the limits of integration. Identifying the correct functions and line segments is crucial for accurate representation. Understanding these concepts clarifies both the integration process and the graphing requirements.

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

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
