Homework Statement
Let f(x,y,z) be a continuous function. To rewrite f(x,y,z) as a function of spherical coordinates, the conversion x-rcos([tex]\theta[/tex]), y=rsin([tex]\theta[/tex]), and z=rcos([tex]\varphi[/tex]). Suppose S is a region in 3 dimensions. How would you rewrite [tex]_{\int\int\int}s[/tex] f(x,y,z)dV as the integral of a function in terms or r,[tex]\theta[/tex], and[tex]\varphi[/tex]
Note the s by the integral should be a subscript
Homework Equations
Hint, may require a change of variable formula
3. The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted to plug in the conversion of x, y, and z, but i don't think this is what is needed. I believe it is more of a conceptual question. What should i do?, I am comfortable with the integration or deriving of the stuff, but am not sure what he is actually is asking. This isn't a homework problem to turn in, but something we were supposed to look at.
