Double Integrals: Where am I making a mistake?

[kostoglotov]

Homework Statement

Find the volume of the solid.

Under the paraboloid z = x^2 + y^2 and above the region bounded by y = x^2 and x = y^2

Well, those curves only intersects in the xy-plane at (0,0) and (1,1), and in the first Quadrant, and in that first Quadrant y = sqrt(x), and over that interval sqrt(x) >= x^2

So here is my working.

The Attempt at a Solution

\int \int_D (x^2+y^2) dA = \int_0^1 \int_{x^2}^{\sqrt(x)} x^2+y^2 dy dx

\int_{x^2}^{\sqrt(x)} x^2+y^2 dy = \left[ yx^2+\frac{y^3}{3} \right]_{x^2}^{\sqrt(x)}

= x^{1/5} + \frac{x^{1/3}}{3} - x^4 - \frac{x^6}{3}

then

\int_0^1 x^{1/5} + \frac{x^{1/3}}{3} - x^4 - \frac{x^6}{3} dx = \left[\frac{5}{6}x^{5/6} + \frac{x^{4/3}}{4} - \frac{x^5}{5} - \frac{x^7}{21}\right]_0^1

= \frac{5}{6} + \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{5} - \frac{1}{21} = \frac{117}{140}

But the textbook gives the answer as \frac{6}{35}

I can't figure out where I have gone wrong.

I have no idea how you got this last .line. yx^2+ \frac{y^3}{3} evaluated at y= x^{1/2} is
(x^{1/2}x^2+ \frac{(x^{1/2})^3}{3}= x^{5/2}+ \frac{x^{3/2}}{3},, NOT "x^{1/5}+ \frac{x^{1/3}}{3}.

then

\int_0^1 x^{1/5} + \frac{x^{1/3}}{3} - x^4 - \frac{x^6}{3} dx = \left[\frac{5}{6}x^{5/6} + \frac{x^{4/3}}{4} - \frac{x^5}{5} - \frac{x^7}{21}\right]_0^1

Yep, I'm tired. I just realized what I did wrong after running it through MATLAB...I really should just take a break and come back to it, before hastily posting here. Sorry :P
