Thread: polar coordinated two variable calculus

Using polar coordinates evaluate

int int over D 3(x+y) and D is x^2 + y^2 <=9, x>=0

Ok, I have

int (between -pi/2 and pi/2) d theta . int(between 3 and 0) 3r^2(costheta + sintheta)

giving 18

is this right?

it seems i'm missing something I think

many thanks

Although the integral, is correct, I do NOT get 18 for that integral. Could you show how you got that?

erm.. ok

integrate first wrt r - to give 9 (cos theta + sin theta) then wrt theta to give
9(sin theta - cos theta)

putting limits in gives 18

oh wait

i need to multiply by 3?
