Question
Let f (y) be a function of y alone and set G(t) = t 0 x 0 f (y) dy dx. (a) Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to prove that G (t) = f (t). (b) Show, by changing the order in the double integral, that G(t) = t 0 (t y)f (y) dy. This illustrates that the second antiderivative of f (y) can be expressed as a single integral.
Solution
The first step in solving 15.2 problem number 72 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Let f (y) be a function of y alone and set G(t) = t 0 x 0 f (y) dy dx. (a) Use the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to prove that G (t) = f (t). (b) Show, by changing the order in the double integral, that G(t) = t 0 (t y)f (y) dy. This illustrates that the second antiderivative of f (y) can be expressed as a single integral.
From the textbook chapter Double Integrals over More General Regions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
