SUMMARY

The volume of the solid S is determined by the surfaces z=10-x² and z=y²+1. The intersection of these surfaces results in the equation x²+y²=9, which describes a circle centered at (0,0) with a radius of 3. To compute the volume, polar coordinates are employed, with r ranging from 0 to 3 and θ from 0 to 2π. The integral to evaluate is (9 - r²) * r dr dθ, confirming the necessity of including the r term in the polar coordinate integration.

Homework Statement



determine the volume of the solid S which is bounded above by the surface z=10-x^2 and below by the z=Y^2+1;


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



what i did was first i tried to find the intersecting points of two surfaces .So i equal two functions and i got x^2+y^2=9 which is a circle center (0,0) and radius 3.then i used polar coordinates to evaluate this .

(r goes from 0 to 3 and theta goes from 0 to 2*pi )integrate (9-x^2-y^2)drd@.

am i correct ??or have i mad any kind of error?please explain?

Usually you have the function (of course that needs to be in polar coordinates) not only with dr dtheta, but r dr dtheta, so from what you have done the integral is the function 9r - r^3 with respect to r and then theta. Someone should confirm that though since I haven't looked at this in a while.
 
ah yr i forgot it thnaks !but am i right up to that point ?about setting the limits of the integral and other process ?
