Double ntegral over the first quarter of a circle
Hello from Greece...

Can someone help me solve this exercise please (Worried) ???

Compute the integral $\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{1-x^2}}(x^2+y^2)dydx$ in the first quarter of a circle with a radius of one (Smirk)

thank you Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays !!!(Happy)

Start by evaluating the inner integral wrt $y$.

Another hint: using polar coordinates you'll obtain $\int_0^{\pi/2}d\theta\int_{0}^1\rho^3\;d\rho$ .
