Homework Statement



Computer the volume of the solid bounded by the xz plane, the yz plane, the xy plane, the planes x = 1 and y = 1, and the surface z = x2 + y2

Homework Equations



None.

The Attempt at a Solution



Since the solid is bounded by the xz plane, the yz plane, the xy plane, it is assumed that the values of x, y, and z all equal 0. And since x = 1 and y = 1, the limits of integration is:

0 [tex]\leq[/tex] x [tex]\leq[/tex] 1

0 [tex]\leq[/tex] y [tex]\leq[/tex] 1

Thus, the double integral is:

[tex]\int[/tex] [tex]\int[/tex] x2 + y4 dA

and the limits of integration is 0 [tex]\leq[/tex] x [tex]\leq[/tex] 1, 0 [tex]\leq[/tex] y [tex]\leq[/tex] 1.

After calculating the integral, I got the answer [tex]\frac{8}{15}[/tex]. Can anyone verify my work?

That's what I get, too.

For future reference, here is the integral I evaluated, using LaTeX.
[tex]\int_{x = 0}^1 \int_{y = 0}^1 x^2 + y^4~dy~dx[/tex]

Click the integral to see my LaTeX code.
