double integral help please?

Area Density: f(x, y) = x + y

Quarter Circle: x^2 + y^2 =< 4, x > 0, y > 0

what is the mass

can't figure out what the bounds would be

    Use polar coordinates (so that θ is in [0, π/2], the first quadrant).

    So, the mass equals

    ∫∫ (x+y) dA

    = ∫(θ = 0 to π/2) ∫(r = 0 to 2) (r cos θ + r sin θ) * (r dr dθ), via polar coordinates

    = ∫(θ = 0 to π/2) (cos θ + sin θ) dθ * ∫(r = 0 to 2) r^2 dr

    = [(sin θ - cos θ) {for θ = 0 to π/2}] * [(1/3)r^3 {for r = 0 to 2}]

    = 2 * 8/3

    = 16/3.

    I hope this helps!
