Homework Statement



Outer Integral: From zero to one dy
Inner Integral: from zero to y^2 dx

Function is: 3y^3 * e^(xy)


Homework Equations


None


The Attempt at a Solution



Have tried numerous u substitutions on e^(xy), but taking me nowhere. I am clearly doing something wrong. Assuming 3y^3 is a constant and does not need to be integrated when integrated with respect to x.

Solutions manual shows result of inner integral being [3y^2 * e^(xy)] from zero to y^2 - which appears to me that a y in the original 3y^3 simply disappeared! No idea how they are getting from 3y^3 to 3y^2 as the result of the first integration!

I am quite sure this is an easy problem and I am simply overlooking a very simple step.

You need to use integration by parts.
 
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...
