SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on computing the double integral of the function (16-2x-3y)/11 over a triangular region defined by the vertices (1,1), (2,4), and (5,2). The user successfully derived the equations of the triangle's sides: y = x(1/4) + 3/4, y = 3x - 2, and y = -x(2/3) + 16/3. They established the limits for the double integral as 1 < x < 2 with y ranging from x(1/4) + 3/4 to 3x - 2, and 2 < x < 5 with y ranging from (1/4)x + 3/4 to -x(2/3) + 16/3. Despite correct setup, the user encountered difficulties in obtaining the correct integral result.
