\int\int(yx^2-2xy^2)dydx

limits for the first are 0 \longrightarrow 3

limits for the second are -2 \longrightarrow 0

solve! help

Hi der.physika! :smile:

(type "\int_0^3\int_{-2}^0" :wink:)

Just split it into two integrals, ∫∫ yx2 dydx and ∫∫ 2xy2 dydx …

what do you get? :smile:

Okay so I took your advice and split the integral and I got 6, is that the correct answer?
 
erm :redface: … i can't check your answer without seeing your calculations, can I? :wink:

\int\int(yx^2dydx)-2\int\int(xy^2dydx)

\int[\frac{1}{2}y^2x^2]=\int(-2x^2dx)=[\frac{-2}{3}x^3]=\frac{-54}{3}

-2\int\int(xy^2dydx)=-2\int[\frac{1}{3}y^3x]=-2(-12)=24=\frac{72}{3}

=\frac{72}{3}+\frac{-54}{3}=\frac{18}{3}=6

is this okay?

Sorry, I'm totally confused. :confused:

Where are your half-way integrals, ie after just one integration?

(and btw, which integral is going from 0 to 3, ∫ dx or ∫ dy?)

How do you put in limits on the integral? I don't know how to put the code into LaTex
 
I showed you above … type "\int_0^3" and "\int_{-2}^0"

(you need {} if the limit has more than one character, eg -2)
