Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around a double integral problem involving the sketching of a region of integration, reversing the order of integration, and evaluating the integral. The subject area includes calculus, specifically focusing on double integrals and region interpretation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • The original poster attempts to sketch the region of integration and reverse the order of integration but expresses uncertainty about the limits for y. They describe their method of determining limits by drawing horizontal and vertical lines through the region but feel stuck.

Discussion Status

Participants are actively engaging with the original poster's attempts, providing feedback on the correctness of the limits for y. Some have pointed out that the limits described may not accurately represent the intended region, suggesting that the area is above a specific curve.

Contextual Notes

There is a mention of an attachment containing a diagram, which is crucial for understanding the problem context, but the approval of this attachment has caused delays in the discussion. Participants also note the importance of accurately sketching the region to determine the correct limits for integration.

Homework Statement



Consider the integral shown in the attached diagram. Sketch the region of integration, express the integral with the reverse order of integration and evaluate it leaving your answer in surd form.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I have drawn the region in the diagram and hope its correct.

I am getting the limits for the reversed order as 0<=x<=1 and for y i am not sure. I tried but i ended up with the same thing square root of x <= y <= 1. That is definitely not right! Could anyone please help me out?

The way I do it is for x limits for the reversed order, I draw a horizontal line passing through the sketched region and for the y limits, it is a vertical line passing through the sketched region. Is there a more effective way cause i keep getting stuck with this method?


Thanks heaps.

Thanks.

Link your picture elsewhere b/c who knows how long it will take for your attachment to be approved.
 
upload the picture in imageshack.us mate
it gives a direct link to the picture. good site for hosting pics.
 
Or, just have a modicum of patience. Sheesh!
 
there it is lol. finally got approved

Yes, that 72 minute wait was soooo oppressive. :-p
 
any answer to my question lol?
 
The region with y from \sqrt{x} to 1 is above the parabola. In youur picture you have shaded the area below the parabola.
 
ohhh yeaaa haha cheers for that. but are the limits right?

He just answered your question. The limits for y is incorrect because they describe the region above the y=x^(1/2) curve.
