- Can you please explain how to find the bounds of the integrals for X and Y and also explain how to find the inequalites that satisfy X and Y. I've looked at the solutions but its not clear to me on how the inequalities and bounds of the integral were obtained. If possible could you explain how to find the bounds of the integrals by sketching a graph with the region of integration.
