This problem is based on Example #1 in §12.3 of Stewart (pg 846).
The goal is to evaluate , where is the region bounded by the parabolas and .
Against which variable will you integrate first, i.e., what is the dummy variable for the inner-integral?
What are the bounds of integration for the inner integral?
lower bound =
upper bound =
What are the bounds of integration for the outer integral?
lower bound =
upper bound =
Work the first (inner) integral. This should result in an integral of the form , where is the appropriate variable ( or ). What is the function in this integrand?
the integrand is
Hint: Look at the penultimate line in the calculation for this example.
Finally,
