Compute \(\int_0^1\!\int_x^1 e^{y^2}\,dy\,dx\). Reverse the order of integration.

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • C. \(\tfrac{e-1}{2}\)

Explanation

The region is \(0\le x\le y\le1\), so the integral is \(\int_0^1\!\int_0^y e^{y^2}\,dx\,dy=\int_0^1ye^{y^2}\,dy=\tfrac{e-1}{2}\). In the original order, \(e^{y^2}\) has no elementary antiderivative.

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.

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