Study Notes
Double Integrals
- A double integral is a type of integral that evaluates a function of two variables over a region in the xy-plane
- It is denoted as ∫∫f(x, y) dxdy and is used to find the volume under a surface or the area of a region
Cartesian Double Integrals
- A Cartesian double integral is a double integral where the region of integration is defined in Cartesian coordinates (x, y)
- The limits of integration are defined in terms of x and y, and the function f(x, y) is integrated with respect to x and then with respect to y
Change of Order of Integration
- The order of integration in a double integral can be changed, i.e., ∫∫f(x, y) dxdy = ∫∫f(x, y) dydx
- This means that the order in which the integration is performed does not affect the result
Change of Variables (Cartesian to Polar Coordinates)
- In some cases, it is more convenient to evaluate a double integral in polar coordinates (r, θ) rather than Cartesian coordinates (x, y)
- The transformation from Cartesian to polar coordinates is given by x = rcosθ and y = rsinθ
- The Jacobian of the transformation is required to convert the integral from Cartesian to polar coordinates
Evaluation of Area by Double Integration
- A double integral can be used to evaluate the area of a region in the xy-plane
- The area is given by the integral ∫∫dxdy, where the region of integration is defined by the limits of the integral
- The area can be evaluated by integrating the function f(x, y) = 1 over the region of integration
Double Integrals
- Double integrals are used to integrate functions of two variables over a region in the plane
- They are denoted as ∫∫R f(x, y) dA, where R is the region of integration and f(x, y) is the integrand
Cartesian Coordinates
- In Cartesian coordinates, double integrals are used to compute the area of a region R by integrating the constant function f(x, y) = 1 over the region
- The region R can be defined by specifying the bounds of integration for x and y, which are often in the form of functions of x or y
Change of Order of Integration
- The order of integration can be changed in a double integral, allowing for flexibility in the order of integration
- This is often necessary when the region of integration is not easily integrable in one order
Change of Variables (Cartesian to Polar Coordinates)
- In Cartesian coordinates, double integrals can be transformed into polar coordinates using the substitutions x = r cos(θ) and y = r sin(θ)
- The Jacobian of the transformation is r, and the area element dA becomes r dr dθ
Evaluation of Area by Double Integration
- Double integrals can be used to evaluate the area of a region R by integrating the constant function f(x, y) = 1 over the region
- The area of the region is given by ∫∫R 1 dA
Double Integrals in Cartesian Coordinates
- A double integral is a type of integral that involves integrating a function with respect to two variables, often represented as x and y.
- Double integrals are used to find the area of a region bounded by a function, or to compute the volume of a solid.
Change of Order of Integration
- The order of integration can be changed in a double integral, i.e., ∫∫f(x,y)dxdy = ∫∫f(x,y)dydx
- This is useful when one integral is easier to evaluate than the other.
Change of Variables (Cartesian to Polar Coordinates)
- In Cartesian coordinates, the double integral is expressed as ∫∫f(x,y)dxdy
- By changing the variables to polar coordinates (r, θ), the double integral becomes ∫∫f(r,θ)rdrdθ
- The Jacobian of the transformation, |r|, is used to transform the area element dxdy to rdrdθ
Evaluation of Area by Double Integration
- The area of a region bounded by a function can be evaluated using double integration.
- The area is given by the double integral ∫∫1dxdy, where the function is f(x,y) = 1.
- The area can be evaluated in Cartesian coordinates or in polar coordinates, depending on the complexity of the function.
