Homework Statement



fp7dlf.jpg




Step 1) I put the following into polar coordinates
√(16-x2-y2)=√16-r2

Where r≤4

step 2 I solved for y in the original problem which is in the link

y≤√(4-x2)

step 3. I graphed the above function

step 4. I put the above function in polar coordinates getting

r≤2

So I already had an idea that the graph would be from

0≤r≤2 dr However my d(theta) was incorrect I got that it would be 0≤theta≤∏ as my interpretation of the graph shows. The answer however shows 0≤theta≤2∏

Which does't make much sense to me. Where did I got wrong?

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

 
Physics news on Phys.org
Upper left hand corner of the graph, the problem statement says Use a multiple integral and a convenient coordinate system to find the volume of the solid. I forgot to type it up I apologize.
 
Honestly I don't know I solved as if it was a circle.
