Click For Summary
The discussion centers around solving the iterated integral $$\int_0^1\int_y^{e^y}\sqrt{x}dxdy$$. The initial confusion arose from incorrectly antideriving the expression after substituting the limits, particularly with the exponent of the exponential function. After clarification from other participants, the correct form was established as $$\int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{3y}{2}}-2y^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}dy$$. The final solution to the integral was found to be $$\frac{4}{9}e^{\frac{3}{2}}-\frac{32}{45}$$. This resolution highlights the importance of careful attention to exponents during integration.

Hello MHB,
I got stuck on one exercise,

$$\int_0^1\int_y^{e^y}\sqrt{x}dxdy$$
So I antiderivate respect to x and get
$$\Bigl[\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3} \Bigr]_y^{e^y}$$
so we got:

$$\int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-2y^{\frac{2}{3}}}{3}$$

So I did try antiderivate that but as soon as I try antiderivate $$2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}$$ I would get $$\frac{2e^{\frac{6y}{3}}}{y}$$ and we got zero in our limit that means I done something wrong and I can't see what I done wrong
edit: in the limits it's $$e^y$$ it does not look clearly

Regards,

Thanks Dan!
I guess I never notice that I confused myself when I integrated with e but I solved it, here is how I solved it:

$$\int_0^1\int_y^{e^y}\sqrt{x}dxdy$$
So I antiderivate respect to x and get
$$\Bigl[\frac{2x^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3} \Bigr]_y^{e^y}$$
so we got:

$$\int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-2y^{\frac{2}{3}}}{3}dy$$
$$\frac{1}{3} $$$$\Bigl[ 3e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-\frac{6y^{\frac{5}{3}}}{5} \Bigr]_0^1= e^{\frac{2}{3}}-\frac{7}{5}$$

Hello Petrus,

I agree that:

$$\int_y^{e^y}\sqrt{x}\,dx=\frac{2}{3}\left[x^{\frac{3}{2}} \right]_y^{e^y}$$

However, for the next step, I would write:

$$\frac{2}{3}\int_0^1 e^{\frac{3y}{2}}-y^{\frac{3}{2}}\,dy=\frac{2}{3}\left[\frac{2}{3}e^{\frac{3y}{2}}-\frac{2}{5}y^{\frac{5}{2}} \right]_0^1$$

Do you see where you went wrong with the exponents? Can you finish now?

Hello Mark,
I want to thank you for taking your time and checking my soloution!

Now I see what I do misstake. I accident confused myself and did write

$$\int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{2y}{3}}-2y^{\frac{2}{3}}}
{3}dy$$

while it should be

$$\int_0^1\frac{2e^{\frac{3y}{2}}-2y^{\frac{3}{2}}}{3}dy$$

Yes I can, I get now the answer $$\frac{4}{9}e^{\frac{3}{2}}-\frac{32}{45}$$

Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
