If \(f(x,y)=g(x)h(y)\) with \(g,h\) continuous, what is \(\iint_R f\,dA\) over \(R=[a,b]\times[c,d]\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(\int_a^b g\,dx\cdot\int_c^d h\,dy\)
Explanation
By Fubini, \(\int_a^b\!\int_c^d g(x)h(y)\,dy\,dx=\int_a^b g(x)\left(\int_c^d h\,dy\right)dx\); the inner integral is a constant that factors out.
Review the concept: Fubini's theorem
If \(f\) is continuous on a rectangle \(R=[a,b]\times[c,d]\), its double integral with respect to the area \(A\) is computed as an iterated integral, integrating in either order.
\[\iint_R f\,dA=\int_a^b\!\int_c^d f(x,y)\,dy\,dx=\int_c^d\!\int_a^b f(x,y)\,dx\,dy\]
