How can I calculate the
[MATH] \iint_S y \,dx\,dy [/MATH]for a triangle of corners ar (0,0),(1,2),(-1,1)?
I am a bit confused of how to set the limits of the doulble integrals.
Can someone explaine me please?

Thank you in advance

First I suggest drawing a rough graph to get an idea what this looks like.

You should see that the line y= -x connects (0, 0) and (-1, 1), that the line y= 2x connects (0, 0) and (1, 2), and that the line y= (x+ 3)/2, above both of the lines, connects (-1, 1) and (1, 2).

Since the "bottom" of the region consists of two different lines, I would do the integral in two parts. For x from -1 to 0, y goes from the lower y= -x to the upper y= (x+ 3)/2. The integral is \(\displaystyle \int_{-1}^0 \int_{-x}^{(x+3)/2} y dy dx\).

For x from 0 to 1, y goes from the lower y= 2x to the upper y= (x+3)/2. The integral is \(\displaystyle \int_0^1\int_{2x}^{(x+3)/2} y dydx\).

The entire integral is \(\displaystyle \int_{-1}^0 \int_{-x}^{(x+3)/2} y dy dx+ \int_0^1\int_{2x}^{(x+3)/2} y dydx\).
