Struggling to Evaluate This Double Integral?

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on evaluating the double integral of e^(y^3) with specific limits for dy and dx. Participants explain that when performing the integration, one should treat the other variable as a constant, similar to single integrals. The challenge lies in integrating e^(y^3), which is not straightforward. One user expresses initial confusion but later indicates they have resolved their issue. The conversation highlights the common difficulties faced when tackling complex integrals.

Evaluate.

double integral (e^(y^3)) dy dx

Where dy is evaluated from sqrt(x/3) to 1

...and dx is evaluated from 0 to 3.

I am lost.
I don't even know how to start.:frown:

do u know how to do integrals?
double integral is just normal integrals in disguise, so when ou are doing the "y"-integral, you treat all "x"s in the integrand as just a constant, and while doing the "x"-integral you treat all "y"s as constant. Then, everything would then be exactly the same as a normal single integral. In many cases, whether you do the x or y integral first does not matter.
in your case i think you should do y first
 
The "y" integration doesn't look pretty. It's basically

\int_{a}^{b} e^{y^3}{}dy
 
Hey guys yes I do know how to do integrals...however I don't know how to do this one. If I integrate y first I have to integrate e^(y^3)dy...and i don't know how to do this.

If I integrate x first then I'll end up with having to
integrate 3e^(y^3)dy...and I again I don't know how to do this.

Thanks.
 
Here it is.

\int_{0}^{3} \int_{sqrt(x/3)}^{1} e^{y^3} {}dy} {}dx

Yay! I got the latex code...however this is the only thing I know about this problem.
