Why does the following double integral have the value zero (no calculation needed)
$$\iint_Dx^8y^7\,dxdy=0$$ where $D={x^2+y^2 \le 2, x \ge0}$.
Does this have anything to do with symmetry, odd and even functions? Can anyone help me with how to think and understand integrals more, especially how to use symmetry to facilitate integral calculations.
Any useful links or videos would be appreciated as well-
Because the map $y \mapsto y^7$ is odd and the domain $D$ symmetric with regards to the $y$-axis.
In general for an odd map, $\int_{-a}^a f(x) \ dx=0$ for $a \gt 0$.
