SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on evaluating the iterated integral of the function (2x+y)^{-2} over the specified limits, with the outer integral from 3 to 4 and the inner integral from 2 to 3. Participants confirm that u-substitution is the appropriate method for solving this integral, specifically addressing concerns about differentiating (2x+y) with respect to y. The consensus is that u-substitution will not present any issues in this context, allowing for a straightforward evaluation of the integral.

PREREQUISITES

Homework Statement



Find the iterated integral:

\int\int(2x+y)^{-2}dydx

The first integral is from 3 to 4 and the second is from 2 to 3.

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



My first thought would be to do u-substitution, but wouldn't that cause problems when trying to differentiate (2x+y) with respect to y?

Yes, u substitution is the way to do it. And, no, that doesn't cause any problems.
