For the double integral \int\int_R sqrt(x^2+y^2) dx dy where R is the unit circle.
I got\int_0^\pi\int_1^1 sqrt(r2) r dr dtheta
Then after the integration I got an answer of 2pi/3 as my final answer.
Is this right.
The bottom of the 2nd integral is -1 not 1

Hi squenshl! :smile:

(have a pi: π and a theta: θ and try using the X2 tag just above the Reply box :wink:)

(and you needed \int_{-1}^1)

erm :redface:you can't have r less than 0! :wink:
