    MHB Triple Iterated Integrals

    That's where my problem is. It would be better to switch to polar coordinates, however, for my answer I must set up one iterated integral in terms of dz dy dx and the other iterated integral in terms of dtheta dr dz.

    MHB Triple Iterated Integrals

    I believe this is a paraboloid, so I think that the cross sections would be circles. As to the coordinate system, I have to use both cartesian and cylindrical for this problem.

    MHB Triple Iterated Integrals

    I am having some trouble with finding the boundaries for the first part of the problem (dz dy dx), I should be able to figure out the second part on my own. The problem is: Set up the triple iterated integrals (using dz dy dx and d θ dr dz) to find ∫∫∫E \sqrt{x^2+y^2} dV where E is the part of...

    MHB Solving Lagrange Multipliers: Find Extrema of Distance from (1,2,3) to Sphere

    That makes complete sense! Thank you so much for making this concept so much easier to understand!

    MHB Solving Lagrange Multipliers: Find Extrema of Distance from (1,2,3) to Sphere

    I believe it should be six critical points then, correct?

    MHB Solving Lagrange Multipliers: Find Extrema of Distance from (1,2,3) to Sphere

    When substituting these values back into the constraint, I got x=+/-sqrt(2/7). Is this correct? If so, do I then substitute this back into y=2x and z=3x?

    MHB Solving Lagrange Multipliers: Find Extrema of Distance from (1,2,3) to Sphere

    Hello, I am having a bit of trouble with the Lagrange multiplier method. My question is: Use the Lagrange multiplier method to find the extrema points of the distance from the point (1,2,3) to the surface of the sphere {x}^{2}+{y}^{2}+{z}^{2}=4. Find the possible values for of \lambda. This...
