Homework Statement
Calculate the following integral (look at the image)
Relevant Equations
Double integrals
Greetings!
As mentionned my aim is to change the order of integral, and I totally agree with the solution I just have one question:
as you can see they have put
0<=y<=1 and 0<=x<=y^2
but would it be wrong if I put
0<=y<=1 and y^2<=x<=1?
Thank you!

Yes, it would be wrong. That would be the other part of the square in your figure.

I got it now, thanks a lot!
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
