Summary: Evaluate ##\displaystyle\iint\limits_R e^{\frac{x-y}{x+y}} dA ## where ##R {(x,y): x \geq 0, y \geq 0, x+y \leq 1}##

Author has given the answer to this question as ## \frac{e^2 -1}{4e} =0.587600596824 ## But hp 50g pc emulator gave the answer after more than 11 minutes of time 1.11888345561.

Your limits of integration are wrong on the inner integral. The integral you entered into the simulator has the region R being ##\{(x, y) | 0 \le x \le 1, 0 \le y \le 1 \}##. IOW, the square bounded by the lines x = 0, y = 0, x = 1, and y = 1. This is incorrect, since the region of integration is a triangle.

Integrating with respect to y first, your integral should look like this:
$$\int_{x=0}^1\int_{y=0}^{1 - x} e^{\frac{x-y}{x+y}}dy dx$$
