Exercise · ZW-DOUBLE-INTEGRAL-OVER-GENERAL-REGION-003 · ★☆☆ Basic

Find the area of the region between \(y=x^2\) and \(y=2x\), that is, \(\iint_D dA\).

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. \(\tfrac43\)

Explanation

The curves meet at \(x=0\) and \(x=2\). The area is \(\int_0^2(2x-x^2)\,dx=4-\tfrac83=\tfrac43\).

Review the concept: Double integral over a general region

The double integral of \(f\) with respect to the area \(A\) over a region \(D=\{a\le x\le b,\ g_1(x)\le y\le g_2(x)\}\) is an iterated integral whose inner limits depend on the outer variable.

\[\iint_D f\,dA=\int_a^b\!\int_{g_1(x)}^{g_2(x)} f(x,y)\,dy\,dx\]
