Choose one option.
A \(\int_0^1\!\int_0^y f\,dx\,dy\) B \(\int_0^1\!\int_y^1 f\,dx\,dy\) C \(\int_0^1\!\int_0^1 f\,dx\,dy\) D \(\int_0^1\!\int_1^y f\,dx\,dy\)
Show answer B. \(\int_0^1\!\int_y^1 f\,dx\,dy\)

Explanation For each \(y\) in \([0,1]\), \(x\) runs from \(y\) (the line \(y=x\)) up to \(1\). Sketching the triangle settles it.
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.
\[\iint_D f\,dA=\int_a^b\!\int_{g_1(x)}^{g_2(x)} f(x,y)\,dy\,dx\]
