The question is, Find the volume of the region bounded by the hyperboloid cylinders
xy=1, xy=9, xz=36, yz=25, yz=49

The Volume will be
\int \int \int_{V} dx dy dz

which I think is,

\int \int_{D} (\frac{49}{y}-\frac{25}{y})dx dy

The problem I now have is in determining the Domain of Integration D in the x-y plane. I know I am supposed to project the cylinder on to the x-y plane and then find the domain D, but I am stuck. How do I find the curves, y=f(x), which determines this domain?

I just thought of something else. I could transform the co-ordinates so that,
xy=a, yz=b and zx=c and then find the Jacobian (which i get as \frac{1}{2\sqrt{abc}}). I think the plane z=0 must also be given as a boundary. Then the shape of the region in the new co-ordinate system will be a cuboid.

Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
