General Notice

I have been informed that on March 7th from 6:00am to 6:00pm Central Time Lamar University will be doing some maintenance to replace a faulty UPS component and to do this they will be completely powering down their data center.

Unfortunately, this means that the site will be down during this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this might cause.

You appear to be on a device with a "narrow" screen width (i.e. you are probably on a mobile phone). Due to the nature of the mathematics on this site it is best viewed in landscape mode. If your device is not in landscape mode many of the equations will run off the side of your device (you should be able to scroll/swipe to see them) and some of the menu items will be cut off due to the narrow screen width.

Section 15.4 : Double Integrals in Polar Coordinates

  1. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iint\limits_{D}{{{y^2} + 3x\,dA}}\) where \(D\) is the region in the 3rd quadrant between \({x^2} + {y^2} = 1\) and \({x^2} + {y^2} = 9\). Solution
  2. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iint\limits_{D}{{\sqrt {1 + 4{x^2} + 4{y^2}} \,dA}}\) where \(D\) is the bottom half of \({x^2} + {y^2} = 16\). Solution
  3. Evaluate \( \displaystyle \iint\limits_{D}{{4xy - 7\,dA}}\) where \(D\) is the portion of \({x^2} + {y^2} = 2\) in the 1st quadrant. Solution
  4. Use a double integral to determine the area of the region that is inside \(r = 4 + 2\sin \theta \) and outside \(r = 3 - \sin \theta \). Solution
  5. Evaluate the following integral by first converting to an integral in polar coordinates. \[\int_{0}^{3}{{\int_{{ - \sqrt {9 - {x^{\,2}}} }}^{0}{{\,\,\,{{\bf{e}}^{{x^{\,2}} + {y^{\,2}}}}\,dy}}\,dx}}\] Solution
  6. Use a double integral to determine the volume of the solid that is inside the cylinder \({x^2} + {y^2} = 16\), below \(z = 2{x^2} + 2{y^2}\) and above the \(xy\)-plane. Solution
  7. Use a double integral to determine the volume of the solid that is bounded by \(z = 8 - {x^2} - {y^2}\) and \(z = 3{x^2} + 3{y^2} - 4\). Solution
