Determining the limits of integration

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on determining the upper limit for the variable x in a triple integral used to find the volume of a solid bounded by the equations z=9-x³, y=2-x², y=0, and z=0, with x being non-negative. The correct limits for the variables are established as 0 ≤ z ≤ 9 - x³, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2 - x², and 0 ≤ x ≤ √2. The integration order is clarified, emphasizing that integrating with respect to x last simplifies the process of finding the limits.

Homework Statement



Use a triple integral to find the volume of the solid bounded by the graphs of the equations;

z=9-x3 y=2-x2 y=0 z=0, x is equal to or bigger than 0

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



Well finding the limits for z and y were simple, they are given, however I'm finding trouble finding the upper limit for x.

0\leq z\ leq9-x^3<br /> <br /> 0\leq y\leq2-x^2&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; 0\leq x\leq? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This may be trivial and something really easy, but I don&amp;#039;t know this particular solution. Thanks for the help

Fixed your LaTeX below. Click on an expression to see what I did.

0 \leq y \leq 2 - x^2

0 \leq x \leq ?

If you integrate with respect to x last, I believe that the limits on x are 0 and sqrt(2).
 
No, your first post said specifically "x is equal to or bigger than 0".
