What does ye" mean?

From here:
Double integral over region Q of (x sin y - ye") dx dy, with Q written beneath the integral sign.
 


I rather suspect that was a typo. I suspect that it was something like
[tex]\int_Q\int (x sin y- y e^x)dx dy[/tex]
instead.
 




Sorry, couldn't help it :biggrin:

but, look:

Handwritten-style equation: A(y) = integral from -1 to 1 of (x sin y - y e^x) dx = (x^2/2 sin y - y e^x) evaluated from x = -1 to x = 1 = -e y + y/e.

Yes, and that makes it obvious, does it not, that what was intended was
[tex]\int_{-1}^1 (x sin(y)- ye^x)dx= \left[\frac{1}{2}x^2sin(y)- ye^x\right]_{-1}^1[/tex]
[tex]= -ye^{1}+ ye^{-1}= -ey+ \frac{y}{e}[/tex]
