If \(1\le f(x,y)\le3\) on a region \(D\) of area \(5\), which inequality holds for \(\iint_D f\,dA\)?
Choose one option.
A \(3\le\iint_D f\,dA\le5\) B \(1\le\iint_D f\,dA\le3\) C \(5\le\iint_D f\,dA\le15\) D \(15\le\iint_D f\,dA\le25\)
Show answer C. \(5\le\iint_D f\,dA\le15\)
← Back to the question
Explanation Since \(m\cdot\text{area}(D)\le\iint_D f\,dA\le M\cdot\text{area}(D)\) with \(m=1\), \(M=3\) and area \(5\), we get \(5\le\iint_D f\,dA\le15\). The other options forget to multiply by the area.
The double integral of a function \(f\) over a region \(D\) of the plane is the limit of the sums of the values of \(f\) times the area \(\Delta A\) of ever finer cells covering \(D\).
\[\iint_D f(x,y)\,dA=\lim_{\max\Delta A_i\to0}\sum_i f(x_i^*,y_i^*)\,\Delta A_i\]
