Homework Statement



Find the area of the part of the surface z^2 = 2*x*y that lies above the xy plane and is bounded by the planes x=0, x=2 and y=0, y=1.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


z = Sqrt[2*x*y]
Sqrt[(partial z/partial x)^2 + (partial z/partial y)^2 +1] =
(Sqrt[2/(x*y)] * (x+y))/2
So Integrate over that but I can't figure out the bounds for this double integral.
Thank You

The boundary is a nice, neat box, so you would just integrate z over 0 <= x <= 2, 0 <= y <= 1.
 
Ok I see. Thank You
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
