Triple integral for bounded regions

In summary, the given computation involves finding the triple integral of the function xyz over the given limits of integration. This can be simplified by breaking it down into three separate integrals, each with constant limits and a simple product in the integrand. After evaluating each integral and multiplying the results, the final answer is 36.

Checking my steps and answer. Thanks in advance!

Compute [tex]\int_0^3 \int_0^2 \int_1^3 xyz\ dz\ dy\ dx[/tex].

[tex]\int_0^3 \int_0^2 \frac{xyz^2}{2} \Big|_1^3 = \frac{9xy}{2}-\frac{xy}{2} = \frac{8xy}{2} = 4xy[/tex]
[tex]\int_0^3 2xy^2 \Big|_0^2[/tex]
[tex]\int_0^3 8x\ 4x^2 \Big|_0^3 = 36[/tex]

Because the limits of integration on all integrals are constants, and the integrand is a simple product, this can be done as
[tex]\left(\int_0^3 x dx\right)\left(\int_0^3 dy\right)\left(\int_1^3 z dz\right)[/tex]
[tex]\left(\frac{1}{2}x^2\right)_0^3\left(\frac{1}{2}y^2\right)_0^2\left(\frac{1}{2}z^2\right)_1^3[/tex]
[tex]\left(\frac{9}{2}- 0\right)\left(2- 0\right)\left(\frac{9}{2}- \frac{1}{2}\right)[/tex]
[tex]\left(\frac{9}{2}\right)\left(2\right)\left(4\right)= 9(4)= 36[/tex]

[tex]\int_0^3 \int_0^2 \frac{xyz^2}{2} \Big|_1^3 = \frac{9xy}{2}-\frac{xy}{2} = \frac{8xy}{2} = 4xy[/tex]
[tex]\int_0^3 2xy^2 \Big|_0^2[/tex]
[tex]\int_0^3 8x\ 4x^2 \Big|_0^3 = 36[/tex]

Related to Triple integral for bounded regions

1. What is a triple integral?

A triple integral is a mathematical concept used in calculus to find the volume of a three-dimensional object. It involves integrating a function over a three-dimensional region, typically represented as a bounded solid in space.

2. How is a triple integral different from a double integral?

A double integral is used to find the area of a two-dimensional region, while a triple integral is used to find the volume of a three-dimensional region. Triple integrals require integrating over three variables, while double integrals only require two variables.

3. What is the process for evaluating a triple integral?

The process for evaluating a triple integral involves breaking down the three-dimensional region into smaller, simpler shapes such as rectangular prisms or cylinders. Then, the integral is set up using the appropriate limits of integration and the function being integrated. The integral is then solved using the fundamental theorem of calculus.

4. Can a triple integral be used for non-bounded regions?

No, a triple integral can only be used for bounded regions. This means that the region must have a defined starting and ending point in all three dimensions. If the region is unbounded, other methods such as improper integrals may be used.

5. What are some real-world applications of triple integrals?

Triple integrals have many practical applications in fields such as physics, engineering, and economics. They can be used to calculate the mass, center of mass, and moments of inertia of three-dimensional objects. They are also useful for finding the probability of events in three-dimensional space, such as the probability of a particle being in a certain location. Triple integrals are also used in fluid mechanics to calculate flow rates and in economics to model production functions.
