Eveluate by reversing order of integration

\int^{2}_{0}\int^{1}_{y/2} ye^{x^3}dxdy

Homework Equations




The Attempt at a Solution



this is what I got...

\int^{1}_{0}\int^{2x}_{0} ye^{x^3}dydx

I end up with...

\int^{1}_{0} 2x^2e^{x^3}dx

I don't know how to integrate this... any tips? thanks

almost there - try a substitution
 
I'm sorry for being so slow... But I'm not sure what to substitute? Thanks

Well, you probably know how to integrate e^u du, so maybe try the substitution u=x^3 and see what happens.:wink:
 
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...
