This maybe a simple question but can someone please help me with one of the problems that was said to be similar on the quiz tomorrow? Set up the Cartesian plane for $\iint\limits_{Disk} e^{-(x^2+y^2)} dA$

If you would like, you could look at how Christina set up the problem in the question she asked, seeing as it is a disk it can be stated with a radius ranging from 0 to a variable representing the outer radius and $\theta$ ranging from 0 to ${2\pi}$. Of course this is in polar coordinates, but she also has it in Cartesian in her post.

Yes, I asked this question earlier because I was struggling with the set up for Cartesian land.
It was one of the ones that he wrote on the board as a problem to expect. He said it would be something like this and we would be asked to set it up in both Cartesian and polar coordinates before evaluating one.
I used the example of evaluating over the domain of a disk with radius R, as we know if we are given an actual number it will basically be the same.
If you look at that question you will see that Gear Junky helped me to see that I was not including the whole domain...

Was this one of the ones we had on the in-class problem sheet, or one he wrote on the board? I think we'll need to know the precise domain we're integrating over to properly set up the integral.
