Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around methods for solving a specific type of double integral, particularly of the form $$\int_a^b \int _0 ^{f(x)} g(r) dr dx$$. Participants explore potential solutions and mathematical manipulations related to this integral.

Discussion Character

  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about methods to solve the integral $$\int_a^b \int _0 ^{f(x)} g(r) dr dx$$.
  • Another participant proposes a solution involving the evaluation of the inner integral and expresses confidence in their approach.
  • A third participant points out a potential oversight in the application of limits to a constant term in the proposed solution, suggesting that the constant should be multiplied by the interval length $(a-b)$.
  • The initial proposer acknowledges the correction with appreciation.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion includes a correction to a proposed solution, indicating some level of disagreement regarding the proper application of limits in the integral evaluation. However, there is no consensus on the overall method for solving the integral.

Hello everybody!
Are there methods to solve integrals of the following form?
$$\int_a^b \int _0 ^{f(x)} g(r) dr dx$$

Ah ok i think i found it already :)

$$\int_a^b \int_c^{f(x)} g(r)dr dx = \int_a^b |_c^{f(x)} G(r) = \int_a^b G(f(x)) - G(c) dx = \int_a^b G(f(x))dx - G(c) $$
 
You forgot to apply the limits to the constant $G(c)$:

$$\int_a^b G(f(x)) - G(c) \, dx = \int_a^b G(f(x)) \, dx - G(c) \color{red}{\cdot (a-b)}.$$

:)
 
Haha yes, thank you :)
