Double Integration Just as the definite integral of a positive function of one variable represents the area of the region between the graph of the function and the x-axis. The double integral of a positive function of two variables represents the volume of the region between the surface defined by the function z = ƒ(x, y)) (on the three dimensional Cartesian plane and the plane which contains its domain.)
Note : 1: If z = ƒ(x, y)) is a pure constant number then the double Note : 1: If z = ƒ(x, y)) is a pure constant number then the double integration an area 2: The same volume can be obtained via the triple integral— the integral of a function in three variables of the constant function ƒ(x, y, z) = C over the above- mentioned region between the surface and the plane.
