244.T.15.5.11 Evaluate the triple integral

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around evaluating a specific triple integral involving the function \(y\sin{z}\) over given limits. Participants explore the steps involved in the integration process, focusing on the correct application of integration techniques and notation.

Discussion Character

  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents the integral and initial steps, seeking confirmation on the correctness of their approach.
  • Another participant suggests a reformulation of the integral, breaking it down into simpler components and calculating the integral over \(x\) first.
  • A subsequent reply continues the integration process, providing detailed steps and arriving at a final expression for the integral.
  • One participant points out an issue with notation but acknowledges the overall correctness of the steps taken.
  • Further clarification is provided regarding the use of vertical bars in notation, with an example given for comparison.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the steps taken to evaluate the integral, though there are minor disagreements regarding notation and presentation. No consensus is reached on the notation specifics, as some participants suggest corrections while others accept the original format.

Contextual Notes

Participants express uncertainty about the notation used in the integration steps, particularly regarding the use of vertical bars. There is also a lack of clarity on whether all steps are presented in a universally accepted format.

$\textsf{Evaluate the triple integral}\\$
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I_{\tiny{11}}&=\int_{0}^{\pi/6}\int_{0}^{1}\int_{-2}^{3} y\sin{z}
\, d\textbf{x} \, d\textbf{y} \, d\textbf{z}\\
&=\int_{0}^{\pi/6}\int_{0}^{1}
\Biggr|xy\sin{z} \Biggr|_{-2}^{3}
\, d\textbf{y} \, d\textbf{z}\\
ans&=\color{red}{\frac{5(2-\sqrt{3})}{4}}
\end{align*}ok just want to see if these first steps are correct with xyz
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would begin by writing:

$$I=\int_{0}^{\pi/6}\sin(z)\int_{0}^{1}y\int_{-2}^{3}\,dx\,dy\,dz$$

As $$\int_{-2}^{3}\,dx=5$$ we then have:

$$I=5\int_{0}^{\pi/6}\sin(z)\int_{0}^{1}y\,dy\,dz$$

Now continue...:)
 
So then continuing..

$$\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I_{11}&=\int_{0}^{\pi/6}\int_{0}^{1}\int_{-2}^{3} y\sin{z}
\, dx \, dy \, dz\\
&=5\int_{0}^{\pi/6}\sin(z)
\int_{0}^{1}y \,dy\,dz\\
&=5\int_{0}^{\pi/6}
\sin(z)\Biggr|\frac{y^2}{2}\Biggr|_{0}^{1} \,dz\\
&=\frac{5}{2}\int_{0}^{\pi/6}\sin(z)\,dz\\
&=\frac{5}{2}\Biggr|-\cos(z)\Biggr|_{z=0}^{z=\pi/6}
=\frac{5}{2}\Biggr[-\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}-(-1)\Biggr]
=\color{red}{\frac{5(2-\sqrt{3})}{4}}
\end{align*}
$$

hopefully
any suggest?

Incorrect notation; otherwise correct. :)
 
do you the vertical bars?
 
Ah, I see you fixed it!

Observe:

$$\left.-\frac{5}{2}\cos(z)\right|_{z=0}^{z=\pi/6}$$

Now you can use pure bars!

For something bigger:

$$\left.\left(\frac{x^2}{2}+3x+4\right)\right|^{4}_{x=0}$$
