Evaluate the integral

$\int\int_D(x^2+y^2)dxdy$

where D is the region above the x-axis and within a circle centered at the origin of radius 2.

$4\pi$

CORRECT

$\frac{8}{3}\pi$

$2\pi$

$8\pi$

$\frac{5}{4}\pi$

Explanation

The conversions for Cartesian into polar coordinates is:

$x=r\cos \theta, ;y=r\sin \theta, ; dxdy=rdrd\theta$

The condition that the region is above the x-axis says:

$0\leq\theta\leq\pi$

And the condition that the region is within a circle of radius two says:

$0\leq r \leq 2$

With these conditions and conversions, the integral becomes:

$\int^\pi_0 \int^2_0(r^2\cos^2(\theta)+r^2\sin^2(\theta))rdrd\theta=\int^\pi_0 \int^2_0r^3drd\theta$

$=\int^\pi_0 (\frac{1}{4}r^4|^2_0)d\theta=\int^\pi_0 4d\theta=4\theta|^\pi_0=4\pi$

Evaluate the following integral by converting into Polar Coordinates.

$\int \int_D 10xy \ dA$ , where is the portion between the circles of radius and and lies in first quadrant.

CORRECT

Explanation

We have to remember how to convert cartesian coordinates into polar coordinates.

$x=r\cos(\theta)$

$y=r\sin(\theta)$

Lets write the ranges of our variables and $\theta$ .

$4\leq r \leq 10$

$0\leq \theta \leq \frac{\pi}{2}$

Now lets setup our double integral, don't forgot the extra .

$\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \int_{4}^{10}(r\cos(\theta))(r\sin(\theta)) r\ dr\ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \int_{4}^{10}r^3\cos(\theta)\sin(\theta)\ dr\ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1}{4}r^4\cos(\theta)\sin(\theta)\Big|_{4}^{10}\ d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{1}{4}(10)^4\cos(\theta)\sin(\theta)-\frac{1}{4}(4)^4\cos(\theta)\sin(\theta) d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 2500\cos(\theta)\sin(\theta)-64\cos(\theta)\sin(\theta) d\theta$

$=\int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 2436\cos(\theta)\sin(\theta) d\theta$

$=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2436\cos^2(\theta) \Big|_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}$

$=-\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2436\cos^2\Big(\Big(\frac{\pi}{2}\Big)\Big)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2436\cos^2\Big(\Big(0\Big)\Big)$

$=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2436(1)$
