    How Do You Calculate the Volume Between a Cone and a Sphere?

    The question asks to find an integral that gives the specified volume below the cone z=r, above the xy-plane, and inside the sphere x^2 + y^2+z^2 = 8. So essentially, we're finding the volume inside the cone? I know that the very top of the cone would include the top of the sphere...

    Finding C_2 for Curve F in Triangle C

    Homework Statement F=<xy, x-y> and C is the triangle joining (1,0), (0,1) and (-1,0) in the clockwise direction. Homework Equations How do I have the second part of this curve? The Attempt at a Solution Apparently, there should only be a sum of two integrals. So I got that curve...

    Evaluating Triple Integral of Region E

    Homework Statement Evaluate the triple integral of the region E, where E is the solid w/i the cylinder x^2+y^2=1, above the plane z=0, and below the cone z^2=x^2+y^2. So is the plane z=0 same as the xy-plane? I was doing a homework problem that has Homework Equations I just need...

    Setting Up Triple Integral for Region Bounded by x=y^2, z=0, x+z=1

    Homework Statement Set up the triple integral for the region bounded by: x=y^2, z=0, x+z=1Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution y= ±sqrt(x); z=0 & z=x+1 I'm just lost on how to find the x integral. I know the dz integral goes from z=0 to z=x+1, and I know the dy integral goes from...

    Finding a vector parallel to a plane

    Homework Statement Just a general question for studying purposes. How do you find a vector parallel to a plane? Let's say that we have a plane 2x-3y-z=0...I know that the perpendicular vector to this plane is <2,-3,-1> but how do I use this information to determine a parallel vector?

    How Do You Model a Downward-Opening Cone in Multivariable Calculus?

    Homework Statement Give a formula for a function whose graph is described. Sketch it using a computer or a calculator. A cone of circular cross-section opening downward and with its vertex at the origin.Homework Equations I know how to draw the cone and the properties of a cone, so that's not...

    Question about Stokes Theorem?

    So I'm self teaching myself Multivariable Calculus from UCBerkeley's Youtube series and an online textbook. I'm up to Stokes Theorem and I'm getting conflicting definitions. UCBerkeley Youtube series says that Stokes Theorem is defined by: \int {(Curl f)} {ds} And then the textbook says that...

    Concept Check for two Green Theorems Problems

    Ahhh, I see. Is that because the diagonal of the triangle is the line 4-y?

    Concept Check for two Green Theorems Problems

    Homework Statement **The book I'm working from doesn't have solutions for even numbered problems and the two problems I'm about to show you guys are even, so if you guys don't mind, I would just like to know if I have the right concept, or if I messed up anywhere. I wouldn't have a way of...

    Calculate Line Integral of Vector Field f(x,y) over Curve C | Homework Problem

    ^Haha. I'm self teaching myself Multivariable Calculus using this online book: http://www.mecmath.net/calc3book.pdf in conjuction with Youtube's UCBerkely Multivariable Calc lectures. It's just weird because I did all the steps and analyzed each step and can't see where I went wrong...we may...

    Calculate Line Integral of Vector Field f(x,y) over Curve C | Homework Problem

    Homework Statement calculate the integral f · dr for the given vector field f(x, y) and curve C: f(x, y) = (x^2 + y^2) i; C : x = 2 + cos t, y = sin t, 0 ≤ t ≤ 2π (2pi) Homework Equations Would the vector F simply be <(x^2+y^2),0> since there is no j component? The solution is 4pi...

    Solving for X Intercepts: How to Find the Real Answers for x^3-3x^2+3

    I don't think you could use the quad. formula here because it's not in the form of ax^2+bx+c. Did you go over division? I believe you have to use long division to find the zeroes.
