Hi,
I am asked to find the volume under the curve whose equation is z=16-(x^4+y^4), and within (x^2+y^2)<=1, using a double integral.
Should I use cylindrical coordinates?
I feel slightly lost. I have tried drawing z=16-(x^4+y^4), unsuccessfully.
I understand that (x^2+y^2)<=1 is a circle of r<=1 and sets the limit to the volume, i.e. the base of the shape.
I'd truly appreciate some guidance.
