Questions tagged [bounds-of-integration]

In many questions the problem of determining bounds of integration in multiple integrals is a major part of what an answer needs to deal with, and in surprisingly many questions it is the only issue. This tag is for such occasions.

Double Integral $\int\limits_0^1\!\!\int\limits_0^1\frac{(xy)^s}{\sqrt{-\log(xy)}}\,dx\,dy$

Is it possible to get a closed form of the following integral? $$I=\int_0^1\!\!\!\int_0^1\frac{(xy)^s}{\sqrt{-\log(xy)}}\,dx\,dy\quad\quad\quad(s>0).$$ My attempt: I’ve tried a change of variables ...

When is $\int_a^b \frac{1}{x}\ln\bigg(\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}\bigg)dx=0$?

I would like to find positive, distinct, algebraic real numbers $a,b\in \mathbb R^+\cap\mathbb A$ satisfying $$\int_a^b \frac{1}{x}\ln\bigg(\frac{x^3+1}{x^2+1}\bigg)dx=0$$ Does anyone know of a ...

Is it necessary to write limits for a substituted integral?

To solve the following integral, one can use u-substitution: $$\int_2^3 \frac{9}{\sqrt[4]{x-2}} \,dx,$$ With $u = \sqrt[4]{x-2}$, our bounds become 0 and 1 respectively. Thus, we end up with the ...

Change of variables Double integral

I have $$\iint_A \frac{1}{(x^2+y^2)^2}\,dx\,dy.$$ $A$ is bounded by the conditions $x^2 + y^2 \leq 1$ and $x+y \geq 1$. I initially thought to make the switch the polar coordinates, but the line $x+...

When does integration via u-substitution break down, equal limits of integration?

Edited: changed $\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}f(g(t))g'(t) \, dt = \int_{g(a)}^{g(b)}f(x) \, dx$ TO $\displaystyle\int_{a}^{b}f(t) \, dt = \int_{f(a)}^{f(b)}u \, \frac{du}{f'(f^{-1}(u))}$ I am wondering ...

How can you simplify/verify this solution for $\int\limits_0^{.25991…} Q^{-1}(x,x,x)dx?$

As I do not know the complex behavior of this function, it would be even harder to integrate past the real domain. The upper bound for the domain is a constant I will denote β. $${{Q_2}=\int_0^βQ^{-1}(...

Is it correct to write $\int_a^x f(x) dx$?

The question pretty much sums it all. A few days ago when studying how to find the real part of a function knowing the imaginary part (or vice versa) I was given this formula: $$u(x, y) =\int_{x_0}^{...

Bounds for the Harmonic k-th partial sum.

I need to bound the k-th partial sum or the Harmonic series. i.e. $$ln(k+1)<\sum_{m=1}^{k}\frac{1}{m}<1+ln(k)$$ I'm triying to integrate in $[m,m+1]$ in the relation $\frac{1}{m+1}<\frac{1}...

How to calculate the floor integral $\int_0^{\pi}\lfloor\pi^2\cos^3x\rfloor\sin x\,dx$?

$$\int_0^{\pi}\lfloor\pi^2\cos^3x\rfloor\sin x\,dx$$ (where $\lfloor x \rfloor $ is the floor of $x$) I thought of breaking into required bounds but its too lengthy. Moreover I had to take cube root ...

Double Integral $\iint\limits_D\frac{dx\,dy}{(x^2+y^2)^2}$ where $D=\{(x,y): x^2+y^2\le1,\space x+y\ge1\}$

Let $D=\{(x,y)\in \Bbb R^2 : x^2+y^2\le1,\space x+y\ge1\}$. The integral to be calculated over $D$ is the following: \begin{equation} \iint_D \frac{dx\,dy}{(x^2+y^2)^2} \end{equation} I do not know ...

Help me understand easy (not for me) concepts in volume integral

Keep looking at the page for an hour. Still not sure how I can get the sloping surface of $x+y+z=1$ and integration ranges for $x, y, z$. and why their range is different too. The book keeps throwing ...

$\iiint_M (x+y+z)\,dx\,dy\,dz$ over $M=\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R^3}: 0≤z≤(x^2+y^2)^2≤81\}$

$$\iiint_M (x+y+z)\,dx\,dy\,dz$$ over $M=\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R^3}: 0≤z≤(x^2+y^2)^2≤81\}$. How would I express this with the correct bounds? Once I have the bounds I can continue on my own but I need ...
