Example Question #2 : Double Integration In Polar Coordinates

Evaluate the integral

where D is the region above the x-axis and within a circle centered at the origin of radius 2.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The conversions for Cartesian into polar coordinates is:

The condition that the region is above the x-axis says:

And the condition that the region is within a circle of radius two says:

With these conditions and conversions, the integral becomes:
