SUMMARY

The forum discussion focuses on changing the order of integration for the double integral \(\int_0^{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_x^{\sqrt{\pi}} \sin(y^2) ~dy ~dx\). The integrals are reversed to \(\int_0^{\sqrt{\pi}}\left(\int_0^y \sin(y^2) ~dx\right)~dy\), allowing for simplification. The inner integral simplifies to \(y \sin(y^2)\) through substitution, eliminating the need to compute \(\sin(y^2)\) directly. This method is valid due to the positivity of the integrand.

The Attempt at a Solution



that is [tex]\int_0^{\sqrt{\pi}}\int_x^{\sqrt{\pi}} \sin(y^2) ~dy ~dx[/tex]

Reverse the order of the integrals (which is possible since the integrand is positive) :
[tex]0\leq x\leq y\leq \sqrt{\pi} \Rightarrow[/tex] y ranges from 0 to [tex]\sqrt{\pi}[/tex]

[tex]0\leq x\leq y\leq \sqrt{\pi} \Rightarrow[/tex] x varies from 0 to y.

So the integral is now :

[tex]\int_0^{\sqrt{\pi}}\left(\int_0^y \sin(y^2) ~dx\right)~dy[/tex]

[tex]=\int_0^{\sqrt{\pi}}\left(\sin(y^2)\int_0^y dx\right)~dy[/tex]

Because you changed the order of integration, you don't have to compute the integral of sin(y^2) but rather y*sin(y^2), which can be done by a simple substitution.
