limits of changing the order of a double integral












0












$begingroup$


I've solved this integral $int_{1}^3 int_{1-y}^{2-y}x^2y,dxdy$ which is 3 1/3. Now I'm trying it with different integral order but can't get the limits right. My try was, $int_{0}^1 int_{1-x}^{2-x}x^2y,dydx$.

    And the correct one is $int_{-2}^{1}int_{max{1-x,1}}^{min{2-x,3}}x^2y,dy,dx$ (not sure what you do it for).

A good drawing always helps for these sorts of questions.



enter image description here



As you can see, the region can be broken up into a triangle between $x=-2$ and $-1$, a pair of lines between $x=-1$ and $0$, and another triangle between $x=0$ and $1$.



So hopefully you can see that



$$int_1^3 int_{1-y}^{2-y} x^2y text{d}x text{d}y = int_{-2}^{-1}int_{1-x}^3 x^2y text{d}y text{d}x + int_{-1}^{0} int_{1-x}^{2-x}x^2y text{d}y text{d}x + int_{0}^{1} int_{1}^{2-x}x^2y text{d}y text{d}x$$

    Sorry, should it be $$int_1^3 int_{1-y}^{2-y} x^2y text{d}x text{d}y = int_{-2}^{-1}int_{1-x}^3 x^2y text{d}y text{d}x + int_{-1}^{0} int_{1-x}^{2-x}x^2y text{d}y text{d}x + int_{0}^{1} int_{1}^{2-x}x^2y text{d}y text{d}x$$. i.e. the upper limit of dy of the first triangle should be 3?

$begingroup$

Hint: Try drawing the figure, bounded by
begin{align}
x=2-y\
x=1-y\
y=1\
y=3
end{align}



And then set the limits with y as a function of x first.

    $begingroup$

    First of all you need to draw a graph of the region of integration which is a parallelogram.



    You notice that you need three integrals to cover the region if you changed the order of integration.



    The x runs from -2 to 1 and you upper and lower limits for y changes on each sub-intervals of length 1.
