Just upload it somewhere else and link the picture.

If you have Firefox, install the Add-on "Imagebot" and it's easier than pie!

Maybe bc most of the Mods were sleeping? Every person that helps here volunteers, relax you're not special.

There's an error in this step:
[tex]-\frac{1}{2}4x^3(x^4+y^2)^{-3/2}[/tex] is not the same as [tex] \frac{-2x^3}{\sqrt{x^4+y^2}}[/tex]

That's about all I can decipher from your working. The limits appear to be correct in the new order of integration. If you're doing integration by parts, you didn't include the expression for dv and v.

Cheers mate, finally got the answer. i made a mistake with my substitution.
 

What is a double integral?

A double integral is a type of mathematical integration that involves computing the area under a two-dimensional function. It is often used in physics, engineering, and other scientific fields to calculate various quantities such as volumes, densities, and probabilities.

How is a double integral calculated?

To calculate a double integral, you first need to determine the limits of integration for both variables. Then, you can use various methods such as the Riemann sum or the Trapezoidal rule to approximate the area under the function. Alternatively, you can use software or calculators to solve the integral analytically.

What are the applications of double integrals?

Double integrals have many applications in science and engineering, such as calculating the mass of an object with a varying density, finding the center of mass of a two-dimensional object, or determining the probability of an event in a two-dimensional probability distribution.

What is the difference between a single and a double integral?

A single integral calculates the area under a one-dimensional function, while a double integral calculates the area under a two-dimensional function. A single integral has one limit of integration, whereas a double integral has two limits of integration, one for each variable.

Are there any real-world examples of double integrals?

Yes, double integrals are used in various real-world applications. For example, in physics, they are used to calculate the work done by a force over a two-dimensional path. In economics, they are used to calculate the total revenue of a company when the price of a product varies over time. In geography, they are used to calculate the total area of a region on a map.
