Mathematica Can someone tell me the commands of these in Mathematica/Wolframalpha?

The discussion focuses on challenges with specific commands in Mathematica and WolframAlpha, particularly for multiple integrals in polar coordinates and row operations on matrices. The user is trying to compute a multiple integral but is not receiving a numerical answer, prompting a request for guidance. Additionally, there is confusion regarding how to perform row operations without factoring results in echelon form. The conversation also mentions using the //N command in Mathematica to convert matrix outputs to decimal format, although the user is uncertain about its application in WolframAlpha. Overall, the thread highlights the need for clearer commands and outputs in mathematical computations.

Alright I have been trying to figure out these commands for the past month and I could not get them. Hopefully one of you could lead me to it

Multiple Integrals in Polar Coordinates

Here is an example

Integrate[r, {r, 1, sqrt(2sin(2*theta))}, {theta, pi/12, 5pi/12}]

I typed this in and I get

[PLAIN]http://www3.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP135219f87b7148ah12d000004fca37i7cda808h9?MSPStoreType=image/gif&s=25&w=291&h=50

It does not give me a numerical answer

Row Operations with Elementary steps

I don't even know how to get this. I can get the rref(M) of a matrix M, but that's pretty much it...

I like to know the commands for echelon form

Leave the final answer in rref(A) without factoring

Let's say I have a matrix \begin{bmatrix}<br /> 1 &amp; 5 &amp; 7\\ <br /> 1&amp; -2 &amp;-2 <br /> \end{bmatrix}

I punch this into Wolframalpha using RowReduce{{1,5,7},{1,-2,-2}} and I get

[PLAIN]http://www4d.wolframalpha.com/Calculate/MSP/MSP30119f87cg4dgd3fi1h00005c11c2c4cc7d2i70?MSPStoreType=image/gif&s=60&w=76&h=36

See how they factor the 7 out? How do you make it so that it DOESN'T do that?

Leave answers in decimal in matrix

Pretty much the opposite of what is requested from before.

Use //N at the end of a line in Mathematica to give a decimal output.

I'm not sure about Wolfram Alpha.
