Question
hi   I've some question regarding cal.3

1- how can i calculate the double integral of xcos(2x+y)dA
0<= x <= 2pi/6 , 0<=y<=pi/4
 that is what i have done:  
xcos(2x+y)dy = xsin(2x+y) = xsin(2x+pi/4) - xsin(2x)  

then how i can integrate dx?

your help is very much appericated

Answer
First, a not on what was given: I'm unclear how x•sin(2x+y) is equal to
x•sin(2x+pi/4) - x•sin(2x).  According to an addition of angles formula in trig,
sin(2x+y) = sin(2x)cos(y) + sin(y)cos(2x).

But to solve the double integral, I assume the dA is really dx•dy.

To integrate with respect to x, use the u-v rule and let u = x, so du = 1,
and let dv = cos(2x+y)dx, so v = sin(2x+y)/2.

To integrate with respect to y, ∫∫x•cos(2x+y) dx dy is x•sin(2x+y) since
the derivative of sin(2x+y), by the chain rule, with respect to y, is cos(2x+y).

After doing these integrals, put in the upper limit and
subtract off what is gotten by putting in the lower limit.

Any kind of calculus question you want. I also have answered some questions in Physics (mass, momentum, falling bodies), Chemistry (charge, reactions, symbols, molecules), and Biology.

Experience

Experience in the area: I have tutored students in all areas of mathematics for over 25 years. Education/Credentials: BSand MS in Mathematics from Oregon State University, where I completed sophomore course in Physics and Chemistry. I received both degrees with high honors. Awards and Honors: I have passed Actuarial tests 100, 110, and 135.

Publications
Maybe not a publication, but I have respond to well oveer 7,500 questions on the PC. Well over 2,000 of them have been in calculus.

Education/Credentials
I aquired well over 40 hours of upper division courses. This was well over the number that were required. I graduated with honors in both my BS and MS degree from Oregon State University. I was allowed to jump into a few junior level courses my sophomore year.

Awards and Honors
I have been nominated as the expert of the month several times. All of my scores right now are at least a 9.8 average (out of 10).
