In Exercises \(11-22,\) evaluate the iterated integral. $$ \int_{1}^{4} \int_{1}^{-\sqrt{x}} 2 y e^{-x} d y d x $$
Find the mass of the lamina described by the inequalities, given that its density is \(\rho(x, y)=x y .\) (Hint: Some of the integrals are simpler in polar coordinates.) $$ x \geq 0,0 \leq y \leq 9-x^{2} $$
The value of the integral \(I=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2} / 2} d x\) is (a) Use polar coordinates to evaluate the improper integral $$ \begin{aligned} I^{2} &=\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^{2} / 2} d x\right)\left(\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-y^{2} / 2} d y\right) \\ &=\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right) / 2} d A \end{aligned} $$ (b) Use the result of part (a) to determine \(I\).
