It is hard to comprehend your question. As far as I understand:
f(x,y) = e^(-x)
Find the volume over region R = {(x,y): 0<=x<=ln(6), -6<=y <= 6}.
That is all I understood. It would be easier to understand with a picture or some kind of visual aid.
Anyways, to find the volume between the surface and your rectangular region R, we must evaluate a double integral of f on the region R.
[tex]\iint_{R}^{ } e^{-x}dA=\int_{-6}^{6} \int_{0}^{ln(6)} e^{-x}dx dy[/tex]
Now evaluate,
[tex]\int_{0}^{ln(6)}e^{-x}dx[/tex]
which evaluates to, 5/6 if I did the math correct. Correct me if I am wrong.
Now integrate this w.r.t. y:
[tex]\int_{-6}^{6}\frac{5}{6}dy = 10[/tex]
So,
[tex]\iint_{R}^{ } e^{-x}dA=\int_{-6}^{6} \int_{0}^{ln(6)} e^{-x}dx dy = 10[/tex]
