Type I region

R : a x b, g1 ( x) y g 2 ( x)

First, evaluate

f ( x, y )dy (Assume x constant)

g1 ( x )

A ( x ), a function of x

Then evaluate

So,

(iterated integral)

Type II region

R : c y d , h1 ( y ) x h2 ( y )

First evaluate
h2 ( y )

f ( x, y )dx (Assume y constant)

h1 ( y )

1 44 2 4 43

A ( y ), a function of y

Then evaluate

So

So, we must change or reverse the order of

integration.
To accomplish this, we need to determine the
region R on which the integration is performed.
We infer from the given iterated integral that R
is of Type I, and R is enclosed by

If a region R is neither of Type I nor Type II, it

may be possible to partition R into
subregions, each of which is either of Type I
or Type II.

The volume of certain solids can be

expressed as double integrals that may then
be evaluated as iterated integrals

Find the volume of the solid enclosed in the

first octant by the plane x+y+z=1

By letting z=0, we see that the surface

x+y+z=1 intersects the xy-plane in the line
x+y=1.
So the region R is enclosed by the axes x=0
and y=0 and the line x+y=1 (or y=1-x)

We may treat R as a Type I region:
