(a)
Expressing the left hand side as an iterated integral,
with y as the inner integration variable, we have
∬R∂y∂f(x,y) dxdy=∫01dx[∫01dy ∂y∂f(x,y)]=∫01dx [f(x,1)−f(x,0)]by the fundamental theorem of calculus=∫01f(x,1) dx−∫01f(x,0) dx
(b)
Define F1(x,y)=f(x,y) and F2(x,y)=0. Then. by Green's theorem
∬R∂y∂f(x,y) dxdy=−∬R[∂x∂F2(x,y)−∂y∂F1(x,y)] dxdy=−∫∂R[F1(x,y)dx+F2(x,y)dy]=−∫∂Rf(x,y)dx
The boundary of R, oriented counterclockwise, is the union of four
line segments.
C1 from (0,0) to (1,0)C2 from (1,0) to (1,1)C3 from (1,1) to (0,1)C4 from (0,1) to (0,0)
Now x is constant on C2 and C4 so that
∫C2f(x,y)dx=∫C4f(x,y)dx=0
So, using −C3 to denote the line segment from (0,1) to (1,1)
∬R∂y∂f(x,y) dxdy=−[∫C1f(x,y)dx+∫C3f(x,y)dx]=∫−C3f(x,y)dx−∫C1f(x,y)dx=∫01f(x,1) dx−∫01f(x,0) dx
