Fundamental Theorem of Calculus & Fubini's Theorem

The Attempt at a Solution



I have been working on this problem for the last hour and haven't been able to solve it thus far. I integrated the inside of the integral with respect to y from 4 to 3, and then integrated the result from the first integral with respect to x from 2 to 1. In the process, I used substitution to solve the integrals.

The answer I keep on getting is (1/(4(3x+4)^4)) - (1/(4(3x+3)^4)) and solve from x= 2 to 1 which results in a small fractional answer of 7.5674005*10^(-5). But my online program keeps on saying its incorrect.

Can anyone give me a heads up as to where I am going wrong? This is one of the few iterated integrals that is giving me problems right now :(

Its better to post your work.
Here is a start:
the integration of 1/(3x+y)^2 with respect to y from y=3 to y=4 is :
(-1/3x+4) - (1/3x+3)
and this result is easy to integrate with repsect to x, isn't it ?
 
I found out what my problem was. I made the stupid mistake of differentiating u^-2 when I should have integrated. Thank you. Your first integration was correct, and that was what was causing my mistake.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
