Changing the order of integration in a double integral requires careful consideration of the limits. The original limits of integration are 0<=y<=1 and 0<=x<=y^2. Reversing the limits to 0<=y<=1 and y^2<=x<=1 would be incorrect, as it represents a different region in the integration space. The correct limits maintain the intended area of integration. Understanding the geometric interpretation of the limits is crucial for proper integration.

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.
