Integration in Polar - polar coordinate

In summary, the homework equation is f(x,y) = xy, where x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0. The outer boundary is just a circle, and the upper limit for r is 2*sec(theta).f

Homework Statement


f(x,y) = xy
x ≥ 0, y ≥ 0, [itex]x^{2}[/itex] + [itex]y^{2}[/itex] ≤ 4


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


[itex]f^{pi/2}_{0}[/itex][itex]f^{2secθ}_{0}[/itex] rcosθ * rsinθ * r drdθ

I just wanted to check... is this right?? because I really don't think it is

Why are you putting the upper limit for r to be 2*sec(theta)? The outer boundary is just a circle, isn't it?

right! in terms of x, the bound should be from 0 to 2, but since x = 2 is rcos = 2, doesn't r becomes 2sec? or am I really really wrong and fault?
OH WAIT
is it just bounded by 0 to 2?

OH OH WAIT I JUST HAD AN EPIC EPIPHANY! THIS IS U SUBSTITUTION!

Uh, the boundary isn't x=2. It's x^2+y^2=4. u-substitution?? I think you are overcomplicating this.

[itex]f^{pi/2}_{0}[/itex][itex]f^{2}_{0}[/itex] rcosθ * rsinθ * r drdθ
So it's not this?

That's it.

yes so I'll go head and calculate all this because there seems to be a problem and I don't know if it's calculation error or book error

[itex]f^{pi/2}_{0}[/itex][itex]f^{2secθ}_{0}[/itex] [itex]r^{3}[/itex]cosθ * rsinθ * drdθ

=[itex]f^{pi/2}_{0}[/itex]([itex]r^{4}[/itex]cosθsinθ)/4 * drdθ

=4[itex]f^{pi/2}_{0}[/itex]cosθsinθ dθ

After u substitution...

=4[itex]f^{1}_{0}[/itex]u du

=4?

The integral from 0 to 1 of u*du isn't 1.

oh oh wow... How could I miss that...
Thank you very much ;D
