∫u=3 and l=0 u= x and l= 0∫ (x2 + y2 )dydx

solve by reversing the order of integration. u and l means upper and lower limit. this is a double integral by the way. i don't understand how the limits are found when reversing the order and the idea of diagrams. please help me

I take it you need to do the following integration by reversing the order of integration.

\int_0^3\int_0^x\,(x^2+y^2)\,dy\,dx

Sketch the region in the xy-plane.

Then consider how you might cover the same region with the order reversed.

can you please help me with it. i have been trying to do it since last week. how do u change the limits with the order. that's my question. can you please explain for this particular question?

To repeat what SammyS said, sketch the region over which integration is being done. The limits of integration are x = 0 to x = 3, and y = 0 to y = x. What does this region in the plane look like?
 
thanks alot..i got it :)
 
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...
