Homework Statement



Find the Volume of the given solid
Bounded by the cylinders y^2+z^2=4 and x=2y, x=0,z=0 in the first octant

Homework Equations


double integral over a region D with f(x,y) dA

The Attempt at a Solution


I graphed it in a xyz plane and got these intervals
D = {(x,y)| 0\leqx\leq4;x/2\leqy\leq2}

where f(x,y) = \sqrt{}4-y^2 with respect to dydx

I don't know how to integrate this!

You could try integrating in reverse order, if that would help. If not, just try a substitution, like y=2sin(u).
 
Thank You Very Much.
Reversing order did the trick.
 
Have a great day!
