Homework Statement



\int^{1}_{0}\int^{x}_{0}\int^{y}_{0} f(x,y,z)dzdydx

I need to write it in terms of dxdydz

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I've tried to draw the 3D representation. I don't really know how to change the order, I don't recall my teacher even showing us this. :confused: I know how to change the order of integration for double integrals, but not this. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you started by sketching the region of integration (not the integrand). The region as described in your first iterated integral is:
0 <= z <= y
0 <= y <= x
0 <= x <= 1
Each of these inequalities describes two boundary planes. If you rewrite your integral with a different order of integration, you'll need to come up with a different description for the same region.
 
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...
