Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the problem. The iterated integral is \( \int_0^2 \int_0^{y^2} x^2 y \, dx \, dy \). This means we first integrate with respect to \(x\) while treating \(y\) as a constant, and then integrate the resulting expression with respect to \(y\).
Step 2: Perform the inner integral. The inner integral is \( \int_0^{y^2} x^2 y \, dx \). Since \(y\) is treated as a constant, factor \(y\) out of the integral, leaving \(y \int_0^{y^2} x^2 \, dx\).
Step 3: Compute \( \int_0^{y^2} x^2 \, dx \). Use the power rule for integration: \( \int x^n \, dx = \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1} + C \). Applying this rule, \( \int_0^{y^2} x^2 \, dx = \left[ \frac{x^3}{3} \right]_0^{y^2} = \frac{(y^2)^3}{3} - \frac{0^3}{3} = \frac{y^6}{3} \).
Step 4: Substitute \( \frac{y^6}{3} \) back into the integral. The iterated integral now becomes \( \int_0^2 y \cdot \frac{y^6}{3} \, dy = \int_0^2 \frac{y^7}{3} \, dy \). Factor out \( \frac{1}{3} \), leaving \( \frac{1}{3} \int_0^2 y^7 \, dy \).
Step 5: Compute \( \int_0^2 y^7 \, dy \). Again, use the power rule for integration: \( \int y^n \, dy = \frac{y^{n+1}}{n+1} + C \). Applying this rule, \( \int_0^2 y^7 \, dy = \left[ \frac{y^8}{8} \right]_0^2 = \frac{2^8}{8} - \frac{0^8}{8} = \frac{256}{8} - 0 = 32 \). Multiply this result by \( \frac{1}{3} \) to complete the calculation.
