            Double integrals of a multi-variable function give the volume under the function f(x,y)f(x,y)

            Double Integrals Over General Regions

            Suppose the region is not rectangular, but rather the region is between two curves. For example, we want to integrate within the following region DD, where DD is:

            axba \leq x \leq b
            g1(x)yg2(x) g_1 (x) \leq y \leq g_2(x)

            Then the iterated integral will be:

            Df(x,y)dA=abg1(x)g2(x)f(x,y)dydx \int \int_D f(x,y)dA = \int_a^b \int_{g_1(x)}^{g_2(x)}f(x,y)dydx

            Likewise, suppose we have the region DD, where DD is:

            g1(y)xg2(y) g_1 (y) \leq x \leq g_2(y)
            ayba \leq y \leq b

            Then the iterated integral will be:

            Df(x,y)dA=abg1(y)g2(y)f(x,y)dxdy \int \int_D f(x,y)dA = \int_a^b \int_{g_1(y)}^{g_2(y)} f(x,y)dxdy

            You usually find the region DD yourself.


            Properties of Double Integrals

            The three properties of double integrals are the following:

            Df(x,y)+g(x,y)dA=Df(x,y)dADg(x,y)dA \int \int_D f(x,y) + g(x,y) dA = \int\int_D f(x,y)dA \int \int_D g(x,y) dA
            Dcf(x,y)dA=cDf(x,y)dA,where  c  is  a  constant \int \int_D cf(x,y) dA = c \int \int_D f(x,y) dA, \mathrm{where\;c\; is\;a\;constant}
            Df(x,y)=D1f(x,y)+D2f(x,y)  where  D  is  split  into  2  regions  D1  &  D2 \int \int_D f(x,y) = \int \int_{D_1} f(x,y) + \int \int_{D_2} f(x,y) \;\mathrm{where\; D\; is\; split \; into\; 2\; regions\; D_1 \; \& \; D_2}


            Volume of General Regions in 3D

            Suppose you want to find the volume of a region that is above g(x,y)g(x,y) and below f(x,y)f(x,y), bounded by a region DD. Then, the volume is:

            Df(x,y)g(x,y)dA\int \int_D f(x,y) - g(x,y)dA
