Homework Statement
Evaluate the following integral:
[tex]
\iiint \,x\,y\,z\,dV
[/tex]
Where the boundaries are given by a sphere in the first octant with radius 2.
The question asks for this to be done using rectangular, spherical, and cylindrical coordinates.
I did this fairly easily in spherical and rectangular coordinates, except for the fact that I got two different answers and I can't figure out where I went wrong! That's not a problem though because I can fix that.
The Attempt at a Solution
How would I do this problem in rectangular coordinates? My integral would look like this:
[tex]
\int_{0}^{{\sqrt{4-x^2-y^2}}}\int_{0}^{{\sqrt{4-x^2-z^2}}}\int_{0}^{{\sqrt{4-z^2-y^2}}}xyz\,dz\,dy\,dx
[/tex]
Which, without some clever transformations and an extremely messy Jacobian calculation, looks unsolvable.
