Homework Statement
Find the volume of the region in the 1st octant bounded above by the surface z=4-x^2-y and below by the plane z=3.
Answer = 4/15
Homework Equations
V = [tex]\int\int\int dV[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I'm having trouble determining the upper and lower z limits.
I partly don't understand what to do, is the function z=3 or z=4-x^2-y that I am integrating.
[tex] \int_0^2 \int_0^{4-x^{2}} \int_0^3 \left (1) \right dz.dy.dx [/tex]
skipping the tedious integration working out.
V=16 which is not the right answer.
I just realized my diagram is wrong, as I drew it as a parabola concave down in the wrong plane.
I've written the new integral as
[tex] \int_0^2 \int_0^{4-x^{2}} \int_0^{3} \left (4-x^2-y) \right dz.dy.dx [/tex]
