Homework Statement


f(x,y) = e^{x^2+y^2}
x^{2} + y^{2} ≤ R

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I believe this is a circle.

f^{2pi}_{0}^{sqrt(R)}_{-sqrt(R)}e^{x^2+y^2}*r*dr*dθ

= f^{2pi}_{0}f^{sqrt(R)}_{-sqrt(R)}e^{r^2}*r*dr*dθ

after u substitution...

= \frac{1}{2}f^{2pi}_{0}f^{R}_{R}e^{u}*du

Does this makes sense?

Of course not... r domain are same...

Polar coordinates are defined on the domain r>=0 and 0<=theta<2*pi. r is nonnegative. Your lower limit for r should be 0.
 
ohhh so r can never be negative so they are always equal to or bigger than 0?
ok I got it.
Thank u

So the correct one is

= \frac{1}{2}f^{2pi}_{0}f^{R}_{0}e^{u}*du

Use \int for a \int in LaTeX.
 
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...
