Homework Equations


double integration

The Attempt at a Solution


how do i integrate the term ##\frac{xz}{ \sqrt{16-x^2}}## though i know that ##\int x \, dx = \frac{x^2}{2}##
pls help me thoroughly :(

The method used to solve that integral was most likely already covered in your past teacher's speeches.
Use substitution method, in particular ##u=16-x^2##. From this compute ##du/dx## and the new integral limits.
 
The integrand ##f(x,z)## is undefined when ##x=4##.
You will have to discuss integrability of ## x \to f(x,z) ## on ##[0,4[##, and of ## z \to \int_0^4 f(x,z) \ dx ## on ## [0,5]##.
If you can justify this, your double integral is well-defined and you can evaluate the integrals in any order you like.
