1. ## integral.

Does anyone know how to do this integral?
$\int_{x=0}^{x=3}\int_{y=0}^{y=\sqrt{9-x^2}}\sqrt{1+4x^2+4y^2}\,dy\,dx$ I think a substituition you can use is either sin or cos but i'm not too sure.

Rewrite this as $\int_0^3\int_0^{\sqrt{9-x^2}}\sqrt{1+4\left(x^2+y^2\right)}\text{ }dy\text{ }dx$. Make a change of coordinates to polar.(don't forget the Jacobian) so that we get $\int_0^{\frac{\pi}{2}}\int_0^3 r\cdot\sqrt{1+4r^2}\text{ }dr\text{ }d\theta$

Use polar coordinates!!!

$x=r\cos\theta$
$y=r\sin\theta$
$dA=r\,dr\,d\theta$

Here your area is the quarter circle in the first quadrant, so the bounds on $\theta$ are $0..\frac{\pi}{2}$.

Your circle has radius $3$, so the bounds on $r$ are $0..3$.

So you're integrating

$\int_0^{\pi/2}\int_0^3 r\sqrt{1+4r^2}\,dr\,d\theta$

which is straightforward.
