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[tex]\leq z[/tex][tex]\ leq9-x^3<br /> <br /> 0[tex]\leq y[/tex][tex]\leq2-x^2<br /> <br /> 0[tex]\leq x[/tex][tex]\leq[/tex]? <br /> <br /> This may be trivial and something really easy, but I don't know this particular solution. Thanks for the help[/tex][/tex]

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

If you integrate with respect to x last, I believe that the limits on x are 0 and sqrt(2).
