Homework Statement


Evaluate (using a substitution) \int\int_{B}x^{2}+2y dxdy where B=\{(x, y) | x^{2}+y^{2}≤4\}

The Attempt at a Solution


I attempted a solution using polar coordinates, so the integral becomes \int\int_{B_{ρθ}}(ρ^{2}cos^{2}(θ)+2ρsin(θ)) ρ dρdθ, and the integration intervals are 0≤ρ≤2, 0≤θ≤\pi. Solving it using Fubini's thorem my result was \frac{32}{3}, but the solution given by the book is 4\pi.

Where did I go wrong?
Thanks

Your polar coordinate setup is right, except you want the upper limit to be 2pi. But the answer is completely wrong. How did that happen? Can you show us?
 
Indeed it is 2pi, my mistake. I'll attempt a solution again, and if I don't get it i'll show it
Thank you
 
Done, I did forget the square in the cosine hehe, many thanks
 
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...
