Iterated Integrals
Iterated Integrals
An iterated integral is the result of applying integrals to a function of more than one
variable in a way that each of the integrals considers some of the variables given as
constants.

If is continuous on a rectangular region then,

where

and
Iterated Integrals with Nonconstant Limits of Integration
Double integrals over nonrectangular regions can often be evaluated as iterated integrals
of the following types:

and
Properties of Double Integrals

1. ( is a constant)

2.

3.
Examples:
1. Evaluate
Solution:
2. Compute the iterated integral for the function on the rectangle .
Solution:
Another way to evaluate the integral is
3. Evaluate

Solution:
4. Evaluate

Solution:
Inversion of Order

5. Evaluate
Solution:
Since there is no elementary antiderivative of , the given integral cannot be
evaluated by performing the x-integration first. Hence, the integral can be
evaluated by expressing it as an equivalent iterated integral with the order
of integration reversed.

The region is determined by the
