Active Calculus - Multivariable

Activity 12.3.6.
Consider the iterated integral \(\int_{x=0}^{x=1} \int_{y=x}^{y=\sqrt{x}} (4x+10y) \, dy \, dx\text{.}\)
(a)
Sketch the region of integration, \(D\text{,}\) for which
\begin{equation*} \iint_D (4x + 10y) \, dA = \int_{x=0}^{x=1} \int_{y=x}^{y=\sqrt{x}} (4x+10y) \, dy \, dx. \end{equation*}
(b)
Determine the equivalent iterated integral that results from integrating in the opposite order (\(dx \, dy\text{,}\) instead of \(dy \, dx\)). That is, determine the limits of integration for which
\begin{equation*} \iint_D (4x + 10y) \, dA = \int_{y=?}^{y=?} \int_{x=?}^{x=?} (4x+10y) \, dx \, dy. \end{equation*}
(c)
Evaluate which ever one of the two iterated integrals above you think will be easiest to compute. Explain what the value you obtained tells you.
(d)
Set up and evaluate a single definite integral to determine the exact area of \(D\text{,}\) \(A(D)\text{.}\)
(e)
Determine the exact average value of \(f(x,y) = 4x + 10y\) over \(D\text{.}\)
