Multivariate Calculus for Actuarial Science, Part III

Now you try one that has a little different twist to it. Reverse the order of integration in the integral

\(\int_{0}^1 \int_x^{2x} f(x,y)\ dy \ dx.\)

Click below the see the solution.

Show the solution

Because of the nature of this region, when we reverse the order of integration, we need two integrals.

\(\int_{0}^1 \int_x^{2x} f(x,y)\ dy \ dx = \int_{0}^1 \int_{y/2}^{y} f(x,y)\ dx \ dy + \int_{1}^2 \int_{y/2}^{1} f(x,y)\ dx \ dy\)







The next step is to apply this knowledge to probability. Your text will explain how to do that. Good luck on your actuarial exam! Click here to go back to the beginning and start over.
