Question: a) Evaluate the following double integrals.
(i) $$\iint_D e^{-x-2y} \, dA$$ where $$D$$ is the region in the 1st quadrant in which $$y \leq x$$.
(ii) $$\int_0^4 \int_{x/2}^1 \frac{1}{1+y^3} \, dy \, dx$$
1. **Problem Statement:**
(i) Evaluate the double integral $$\iint_D e^{-x-2y} \, dA$$ where $$D$$ is the region in the first quadrant bounded by $$y \leq x$$.
(ii) Evaluate the double integral $$\int_0^4 \int_{x/2}^1 \frac{1}{1+y^3} \, dy \, dx$$.
---
2. **Integral (i) Setup:**
The region $$D$$ is in the first quadrant where $$y \leq x$$. Since both $$x$$ and $$y$$ are non-negative, the limits are:
- $$x$$ from $$0$$ to $$\infty$$ (since no upper bound given)
- $$y$$ from $$0$$ to $$x$$.
So the integral becomes:
$$\int_0^{\infty} \int_0^x e^{-x-2y} \, dy \, dx$$
---
3. **Integral (i) Inner Integral:**
Evaluate the inner integral with respect to $$y$$:
$$\int_0^x e^{-x-2y} \, dy = e^{-x} \int_0^x e^{-2y} \, dy$$
Calculate the inner integral:
$$\int_0^x e^{-2y} \, dy = \left[-\frac{1}{2} e^{-2y} \right]_0^x = -\frac{1}{2} e^{-2x} + \frac{1}{2}$$
So the inner integral is:
$$e^{-x} \left( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{2} e^{-2x} \right) = \frac{e^{-x}}{2} - \frac{e^{-3x}}{2}$$
---
4. **Integral (i) Outer Integral:**
Now integrate with respect to $$x$$:
$$\int_0^{\infty} \left( \frac{e^{-x}}{2} - \frac{e^{-3x}}{2} \right) dx = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^{\infty} e^{-x} dx - \frac{1}{2} \int_0^{\infty} e^{-3x} dx$$
Calculate each integral:
$$\int_0^{\infty} e^{-x} dx = \left[-e^{-x}\right]_0^{\infty} = 1$$
$$\int_0^{\infty} e^{-3x} dx = \left[-\frac{1}{3} e^{-3x}\right]_0^{\infty} = \frac{1}{3}$$
So the outer integral is:
$$\frac{1}{2} (1) - \frac{1}{2} \left( \frac{1}{3} \right) = \frac{1}{2} - \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{3}$$
---
5. **Integral (i) Final Answer:**
$$\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}$$
---
6. **Integral (ii) Setup:**
Evaluate:
$$\int_0^4 \int_{x/2}^1 \frac{1}{1+y^3} \, dy \, dx$$
---
7. **Integral (ii) Inner Integral:**
The inner integral is with respect to $$y$$:
$$\int_{x/2}^1 \frac{1}{1+y^3} \, dy$$
This integral does not have a simple elementary antiderivative, so we leave it as is for now.
---
8. **Integral (ii) Change Order of Integration:**
The region of integration is:
- $$0 \leq x \leq 4$$
- $$x/2 \leq y \leq 1$$
Rewrite the limits for $$y$$ first:
- $$0 \leq y \leq 1$$
- For each fixed $$y$$, $$x$$ varies from $$0$$ to $$2y$$ (since $$x/2 \leq y \Rightarrow x \leq 2y$$)
So the integral becomes:
$$\int_0^1 \int_0^{2y} \frac{1}{1+y^3} \, dx \, dy$$
---
9. **Integral (ii) Inner Integral with respect to $$x$$:**
Since the integrand does not depend on $$x$$:
$$\int_0^{2y} \frac{1}{1+y^3} \, dx = \frac{1}{1+y^3} \times (2y - 0) = \frac{2y}{1+y^3}$$
---
10. **Integral (ii) Outer Integral:**
Now integrate with respect to $$y$$:
$$\int_0^1 \frac{2y}{1+y^3} \, dy$$
---
11. **Integral (ii) Simplify and Substitute:**
Let $$u = 1 + y^3$$, then $$du = 3y^2 dy$$.
Rewrite the integral:
$$\int_0^1 \frac{2y}{1+y^3} dy = 2 \int_0^1 \frac{y}{1+y^3} dy$$
We want to express $$y dy$$ in terms of $$du$$, but $$du = 3y^2 dy$$, so this substitution is not straightforward.
Instead, use partial fraction or another substitution.
---
12. **Integral (ii) Alternative substitution:**
Rewrite the denominator:
$$1 + y^3 = (1 + y)(1 - y + y^2)$$
But this complicates the integral.
Try substitution:
$$t = y^3 \Rightarrow dt = 3y^2 dy$$
Rewrite $$y dy$$ in terms of $$dt$$:
$$y dy = \frac{y dy}{1}$$ but no direct substitution.
---
13. **Integral (ii) Use substitution $$t = y^3$$:**
Rewrite the integral:
$$I = 2 \int_0^1 \frac{y}{1+y^3} dy = 2 \int_0^1 \frac{y}{1+t} \frac{dt}{3y^2} = \frac{2}{3} \int_0^1 \frac{1}{(1+t) y} dt$$
But $$y = t^{1/3}$$, so:
$$I = \frac{2}{3} \int_0^1 \frac{1}{(1+t) t^{1/3}} dt = \frac{2}{3} \int_0^1 \frac{t^{-1/3}}{1+t} dt$$
---
14. **Integral (ii) Final form:**
$$I = \frac{2}{3} \int_0^1 \frac{t^{-1/3}}{1+t} dt$$
This integral is a known special function (the Beta or hypergeometric function), so the exact elementary form is complicated.
Numerical approximation or special functions are needed for exact value.
---
15. **Summary:**
- (i) The value of the integral is $$\frac{1}{3}$$.
- (ii) The integral reduces to $$\frac{2}{3} \int_0^1 \frac{t^{-1/3}}{1+t} dt$$ which can be evaluated numerically or expressed in terms of special functions.
---
**Final answers:**
(i) $$\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}$$
(ii) $$\boxed{\frac{2}{3} \int_0^1 \frac{t^{-1/3}}{1+t} dt}$$ (numerical or special function evaluation required)
