Homework Statement



find the volume between the cone x=√y^2+z^2, and the spherex^2+y^2+z^2=196

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


for x=√y^2+z^2, I got x^2=y^2+z^2, and 2x^2=196, x=98, for this, I don't know what i am supposed to do then. Thanks!

sorry,. x^2=98. but what can i do then? thanks.
 
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...
