Double integral polar coordinate using substitution

156 Views Asked by At

I have to calculate:

$$\iint _{R} \frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}dA$$

and R is this region:

$$x^{2}+y^{2}=16; x^{2}+y^{2}=4; y = \sqrt{3}x; y=\frac{x}{\sqrt{3}}$$

so I used substitution:

$$x = r\cos \theta \: \: \: \wedge \: \: \: y = r\sin \theta$$

therefore I have:

$$\int_{\frac{\pi }{6}}^{\frac{\pi }{3}}\int_{2}^{4}\frac{rcos\theta }{r}rdrd\theta$$

$$=6\left [ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-\frac{1}{2} \right ]$$

is this right way to approach this double integral?
