When does this double integral converge?

[windy906]

For the double integral find which values of k make it converge.
$$\int \int \frac{dA}{(x ^ 2+y^2)^k}$$

$$x^2 + y^2 <= 1$$
I have no idea how to even start going about this, can just about do the basics of multiple integration but not this.

What is z?

 

[windy906]

Doesn't say, that is all the information I have.

 

[Office_Shredder]

Well, is z associated with the integral? Because it really has no bearing on the problem at the moment... perhaps you meant k?

 

[windy906]

Yes I did, sorry!
Will edit it now.

Try converting it to polar coordinates

Thanks, really didn't have a clue what to do.
