Homework Statement


Rewrite \int_{0}^{2}\int_{0}^{y^3}\int_{0}^{y^2}dzdxdy as an integral with order dydzdx.

Homework Equations


N/A


The Attempt at a Solution


Honestly, I got as far as sketching it:

and after sketching it, I'm lost...

I can't figure out how to set z or y, but I'm fairly sure that x is [0,8].

could anyone possibly offer some help?

Thanks

Is this all you're given in the problem? Just change the order of integration? I'm concerned that you might be omitting some information in the problem.

BTW, I've always found it to be easier to include the variable in one of the limits of integration, when I'm dealing with iterated integrals.
\int_{y = 0}^{2}\int_{x = 0}^{y^3}\int_{z = 0}^{y^2}dz~dx~dy

Thank you for your tip :)

I'm actually not leaving anything out at all. Many of these questions are vague (and rather annoying). I think I might have it, but am not sure:

\int_{0}^{8}\int_{0}^{\sqrt[3]{x}}\int_{0}^{\sqrt{z}}dydzdx. However, this seems way to easy to be true...
 
Well, you can check. both integrals represent the volume of the region, so both integrals should produce the same value.

Hmm, how would I check without a function to integrate?
 
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...
