5.9 Examples of repeated integrals

Example.

Let RR be the rectangle 0x20\leq x\leq 2, 0y1.0\leq y\leq 1. Find the double integral

R(x+y)dxdy.\int\!\!\!\int_{R}(x+y)\,dxdy.

Solution. We sketch the region, then calculate the repeated integral:

0102(x+y)dxdy=01[x22+xy]02dy=\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{2}(x+y)\,dxdy=\,{\int_{0}^{1}\left[\frac{x^{2}}{2}+xy% \right]_{0}^{2}\,dy=}\,
01(2+2y)dy=[2y+y2]01= 3.{\int_{0}^{1}(2+2y)\,dy=}\,{\left[2y+y^{2}\right]_{0}^{1}=}\,{3.}
