- Find the area of a parallelogram whose edges are parallel to the vectors $(x,y)$ and $(p,q)$.
- When we add up lots of little changes in $x$, so $\int_C dx$, what do we get?
- Compute the double integral $\ds \int_{-1}^{2}\left(\int_{x}^{4-x}dy\right)dx$.
- Draw the region whose area is given by the double integral above.
Brain Building Solutions
- $|xq-yp|$
- Total change in $x$. This might represent a width of something.
- We get $$\ds \int_{-1}^{2}\left(\int_{x}^{4-x}dy\right)dx =\int_{-1}^{2}(4-x)-xdx =4x-x^2\bigg|_{-1}^{2} =(8-4)-(4(-1)-(-1)^2) = 9 .$$
- The picture is a triangle with corners at $(-1,-1)$, $(-1,5)$, and $(2,2)$. The height is 6, the width is 3, so the area is 9.
