Homework Statement



Evaluate the integral by reversing the order of integration.

[tex]\int_0^3\int_{y^2}^9 y \cos{x^2} dxdy[/tex]

The Attempt at a Solution



I want to make sure I'm right so far before going on. I have the reversed limits as:
[tex]\sqrt{x} <= y <= 3[/tex]
[tex]0 <= x <= 9[/tex]

Is this right?

i would try drawing the area, could be wrong, but i think it looks more like:
[tex]0 <= y <= \sqrt{x}[/tex]
[tex]0 <= x <= 9[/tex]
 
you could also try both integrals to check you get the same area, though i suppose that's why you;re reversing the order in the first place
