What does it mean when a double integral is zero?
That double integral is telling you to sum up all the function values of x2−y2 over the unit circle. To get 0 here means that either the function does not exist in that region OR it’s perfectly symmetrical over it.
What is the equation of the circle with center at the origin?
The equation of a circle of radius r and centre the origin is x2 + y2 = r2 .
How do you write double integrals in polar coordinates?
Key Concepts
- To apply a double integral to a situation with circular symmetry, it is often convenient to use a double integral in polar coordinates.
- The area dA in polar coordinates becomes rdrdθ.
- Use x=rcosθ,y=rsinθ, and dA=rdrdθ to convert an integral in rectangular coordinates to an integral in polar coordinates.
How do you find the center of a circle with polar coordinates?
It can be also algebraically shown by converting the polar equation into the equation in the Cartesian coordinate system. The variation of a (whether a > 0 or a < 0) changes the center and the radius of the circle of the equation r = 2asin θ. In fact, the center is (a, 0) and the radius is a.
What do double integrals represent?
The double integral sign says: add up volumes in all the small regions in R. represents the volume under the surface. We can compute the volume by slicing the three-dimensional region like a loaf of bread. Suppose the slices are parallel to the y-axis.

How to calculate double integrals in polar coordinates?
In computing double integrals to this point we have been using the fact that dA= dxdy d A = d x d y and this really does require Cartesian coordinates to use. Once we’ve moved into polar coordinates dA≠ drdθ d A ≠ d r d θ and so we’re going to need to determine just what dA d A is under polar coordinates.
What is the polar equation for an off origin circle?
The circle is more special than just “off origin.” It’s tangent to the $y$-axis at the origin. Its polar equation is $r=2\\cos heta$, as $-\\pi/2 < heta <\\pi/2$. The polar integral is
What is the formula for a double integral?
Recall that the definition of a double integral is in terms of two limits and as limits go to infinity the mesh size of the region will get smaller and smaller. In fact, as the mesh size gets smaller and smaller the formula above becomes more and more accurate and so we can say that, dA = rdrdθ d A = r d r d θ
What happens to a double integral as the limit goes to infinity?
Recall that the definition of a double integral is in terms of two limits and as limits go to infinity the mesh size of the region will get smaller and smaller. In fact, as the mesh size gets smaller and smaller the formula above becomes more and more accurate and so we can say that,
