Which are valid strategies for evaluating a difficult double integral?
Hints
- A good strategy must adapt to the region's symmetry.
- Insisting on one coordinate system regardless of shape is not a strategy.
Show the answer
- A. Reverse the order of integration
- B. Change to polar/cylindrical/spherical coordinates
- D. Use symmetry to simplify
Why
Coordinate changes, order reversal, and symmetry are all powerful techniques.
