Hello, I am stuck on this double integration question as I am not sure how to get the limits to integrate between. If anyone could give me advice on ways to get limits in general, help would be appreciated.
Evaluate the following integral
R(xy+cosx)dxdy
where R, the region of integration, is the triangle with vertices at the points
(x,y)=(0,0),(2,0),(1,1)
Ok so after drawing a diagram it is clear, taking y as the inner integral, that 0<x<2 are the limits to take for x. It can be seen that y must be above 0 so i thought that would be the lower limit but have no idea what the upper limit of y would be. I know that the sides of the shape are y=x and y=-x+2. Would i have to take the triangle as 2 different shapes, where for shape 1 0<y<y=x and shape 2 0<y<y=-x+2 and then add the shapes?
Help would be appreciated, thanks! :)
