(b)
Which of the following expressions do not make sense as an iterated integral used to compute a double integral? If the iterated integral does not make sense, explain your reasoning in a couple of sentences. If the iterated integral does make sense, draw a plot of the region of integration.
  1. \begin{equation*} \int_0^1 \int_1^x f(x,y) \; dy \; dx \end{equation*}
  2. \begin{equation*} \int_0^1 \int_1^y f(x,y) \; dy \; dx \end{equation*}
  3. \begin{equation*} \int_0^1 \int_x^y f(x,y) \; dy \; dx \end{equation*}
  4. \begin{equation*} \int_0^1 \int_x^1 f(x,y) \; dy \; dx \end{equation*}
