Evaluate the iterated integral by converting to polar coordinates. (give an exact answer.) int_(-a)^a int_0^(sqrt(a^2-y^2)) (x^2 + y^2)^(3\/2) text( ) dx text( ) dy

Answered by maham237 @



The given integral is
\int_{-a}^{a} dy \int_{0}^{ \sqrt{a^{2}-y^{2}} } (x^{2}+y^{2})^{3/2} dx

Refer to the figure shown below.
In polar coordinates, the domain of integration is a circle with radius r = [0, a], and θ = [-π, π].
The element of area is
dA = r dr dθ
x² + y² = r²

The integral may be written as
\int_{- \pi }^{ \pi } d\theta \int_{0}^{a} (r^{2})^{3/2} r \, dr \\\\ = 2 \pi  [ \frac{r^{5}}{5}]_{0}^{a} \\\\ =  \frac{2 \pi  a^{5}}{5}

Answer:  \frac{2 \pi a^{5}}{5}
