Exercise · ZW-DOUBLE-INTEGRAL-OVER-GENERAL-REGION-005 · ★☆☆ Basic

The region \(D=\{0\le y\le x\le1\}\) can also be described by integrating in \(x\) first. Which iterated integral equals \(\int_0^1\!\int_0^x f\,dy\,dx\)?

Choose one option.

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.

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.

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