Homework Statement



The volume underneath the surface z= y/ (1+xy) and above the square {(x,y)| 2≤x≤3 , 3≤
y≤ 4} is:

Homework Equations



Please see attachment.

The Attempt at a Solution



Please see attachment for solution.

My professor had provided us with 8 possible solutions (where only one is correct). However the answer I had produced did not match with any of the 8. Any insight to where/how I went wrong is greatly appreciated!

Thanks in Advance!

Your solution looked good to me.

What were the eight choices given?

Added in Edit:

There is a mistake in doing each of the last two integrals.

You should have coefficients of 1/3 & 1/2 respectively.

Could you explain this mistake to me? As I am not seeing how I come to get the coefficients.

But yes you are right, when you factor in the coefficients it does give me one of the possible answers the prof gave us!
 
\displaystyle \int\ln(1+3y)dy

Let u = 1+3y → du = 3 dy → \displaystyle dy=\frac{1}{3}du

Can you take it from there?
 
Yes, that makes perfect sense. Thank you!
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
