Question 3: Notice that this is above the previous reading exercise. 
Explain why one order of integration is preferable over the other in this particular example.

Hint 1: Read Example 2 (p. 906).

The image provides information and diagrams on how to find the limits for double integrals using both vertical and horizontal cross-sections.

### Using Vertical Cross-Sections

When evaluating a double integral \(\iint_R f(x, y) \, dA\), integrate first with respect to \(y\) and then with respect to \(x\). Follow these steps:

1. **Sketch**: Draw the region of integration and label the bounding curves (as demonstrated in Figure 15.14a).
2. **Find the \(y\)-limits of integration**: Imagine a vertical line \(L\) cutting through region \(R\) in the direction of increasing \(y\). Mark the \(y\)-values where \(L\) enters and leaves. These are the \(y\)-limits of integration and they are usually functions of \(x\) (instead of constants) (see Figure 15.14b).
3. **Find the \(x\)-limits of integration**: Choose \(x\)-limits that include all the vertical lines through \(R\). The integral shown here (see Figure 15.14c) is:
   \[
   \int_{x=0}^{x=1} \int_{y=0}^{y=\sqrt{1-x^2}} f(x, y) \, dy \, dx.
   \]

### Using Horizontal Cross-Sections

To evaluate the same double integral as an iterated integral with the reverse order of integration, use horizontal lines instead of vertical lines in Steps 2 and 3 (see Figure 15.15). The integral is:
   \[
   \int_{y=0}^{y=1} \int_{x=-\sqrt{1-y^2}}^{x=\sqrt{1-y^2}} f(x, y) \, dx \, dy.
   \]

## Example 2

### Calculate

\[
\int \int_R \frac{\sin x}{x} \, dA,
\]

where \( R \) is the triangle in the xy-plane bounded by the x-axis, the line \( y = x \), and the line \( x = 1 \).

### Solution

The region of integration is shown in Figure 15.13. 

**Description of Figure 15.13:**
- A graph illustrating the region \( R \), which is a right triangle.
- The triangle is bounded by the line \( y = x \), the x-axis, and the vertical line \( x = 1 \).

To evaluate the integral, we integrate first with respect to \( y \) and then with respect to \( x \), since \( x \) is held fixed in the first integration. 

The calculation steps are:

\[
\int_0^1 \left( \int_0^x \frac{\sin x}{x} \, dy \right) dx = \int_0^1 \left[ \frac{\sin x}{x} \cdot y \right]_0^x dx = \int_0^1 \sin x \, dx = -\cos(1) + 1 \approx 0.46.
\]

If we reverse the order of integration and attempt to calculate 

\[
\int_0^1 \left( \int_y^1 \frac{\sin x}{x} \, dx \right) dy,
\]

we encounter a problem because \( \int \frac{\sin(x)}{x} \, dx \) cannot be expressed in terms of elementary functions (there is no simple antiderivative).

### Note

There is no general rule for predicting which order of integration will be the best in situations like this. If the order you first choose doesn’t work, try the other. Sometimes neither order will work, and numerical methods may be needed.
