4. Double Integrals
(from Stewart, Calculus, Chapter 15)
Partial Integrals:
R
d
c
f(x, y) dy is calculated by holding x
constant and integrating with respect t o y from y = c to y = d.
Note th at th e resul t is a function of x.
For each fixed x, the t rac e of f(x, y)isacurveC in the plane
x = constant. The partial integral A(x)=
R
d
c
f(x, y) dy is the
area und er th e curve C from y = c to y = d.
Similarly,
R
b
a
f(x, y) dx is calculate d by holding y constant and integrating with respect to x from x = a to
x = b. The result is a function of y.
Finding Volume with a Dou b le Integral:
RR
D
f(x, y)dA is the signed volume between the surface
z = f (x, y) and the region D in the xy-plane.
Finding Area with a Dou bl e Integral:
