Choosing the order of integration with double integration

[8614smith]

Homework Statement

Sketch the regions of integration, and evaluate the integral by choosing the best order of integration.
\int^{2\sqrt{ln2}}_{0}\int^{\sqrt{ln2}}_{y/2}exp(x^2)dxdy

Homework Equations

integration by parts

The Attempt at a Solution

ive changed the order of integration and done the inner integral with respect to y to get this far..
\int^{\sqrt{ln2}}_{y/2}\int^{2\sqrt{ln2}}_{0}exp(x^2)dydx=\sqrt{ln2}\int^{2\sqrt{ln2}}_{y/2}exp(x^2)dx

and now when i do a u substitution
u=x^2
du=2xdx
and that is how far i can get as i can't put the 'du' into the equation as it has a '2x' in it and i will be integrating with respect to 'u'. Integrating it the original way round just gets me to this problem straight away.

I just can't see any way of getting rid of the 2x?!

If you change the order by which you integrate, the limits will change. You need to find the new limits.

Also ∫e^x2dx does not exist in terms of elementary functions.

Make sure you sketch the region of integration, as step that many students skip, believing it to be unimportant.

that seems so obvious now but you wouldn't believe how long I've been looking at it, the 'cancelling 2x' comes from when you change the limits. thanks guys!
