Double integrals over general regions
Problem 11.26 · medium
Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iint_D x^{2} \, dA \) where D is bounded by \( \displaystyle y = 0 \), \( \displaystyle y = \sqrt{x} \), \( \displaystyle x = 0 \) and \( \displaystyle x = 2 \).
- D is Type I: for each x in [0, 2], y runs from 0 to sqrt(x).
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{\sqrt{x}} x^{2}\, dy = x^{\frac{5}{2}} \]The inner integral.✓ Proved
- \[ \int\limits_{0}^{2} x^{\frac{5}{2}}\, dx = \frac{16 \sqrt{2}}{7} \]The outer integral.✓ Proved
Answer \( \frac{16 \sqrt{2}}{7} \)

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Not checked | — | a sentence; read, not computed |
| 2 | ✓ Proved | sympy 1.14.0 | simplify(lhs - rhs) reduced to 0 |
| 3 | ✓ Proved | sympy 1.14.0 | simplify(lhs - rhs) reduced to 0 |
| answer, a second way | ✓ Checked independently | sympy 1.14.0 + mpmath 1.3.0 | nested numerical quadrature over the region agrees |
Proved: SymPy reduced the difference between the two sides to zero. Checked independently: a separate
method, named above, confirmed it. Checked numerically: the two sides agree at every sampled point, which is evidence,
not proof. Reviewed: a model or a person read it; that is all a sentence can have. Solution by
generator:structured/double_integral_region, checked 2026-09-26 with SymPy 1.14.0.
