Homework Statement


Evaluate the triple integral of the function (x+5y)dV Where E is bounded by a parabolic cylinder and the planes z=9x z=0 y=18x and y=3x^2


I just wanted to knw if my bounds are correct.
Here they are

for dz:
0 to 9x

dy:

18x to 3x^2

dx:

0 to 6

Your limits for y are backwards, but otherwise everything looks okay.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
