Homework Statement
Use polar coordinates to find the volume of the solid bounded by the paraboloid z = 47 - 5x2 - 5y2 and the plane z = 2.
Homework Equations
x2 + y2 = r2
x = rcosθ
y = rsinθ
The Attempt at a Solution
I substituted the z = 2 into the equation given,
2 = 47 - 5x2 - 5y2
45 = 5x2 + 5y2
9 = x2 + y2
So from here, I know that r = 3, and 0<r<3.
Since it's a circle, I know that 0<θ<2∏
Then, I know that x2 + y2 = r2, so,
z = 47 - 5(x2+y2)
= 47 - 5(r2)
∫[0,2∏]∫[0,3] (47 - 5(r2))rdrdθ
When I take the double integral, I get (441∏)/2. This is incorrect. It seems like a very simple question, and my math looks correct. Have I made a conceptual mistake somewhere?
Thanks for any help! :)
