Homework Statement
Use a triple integral to find the volume of the solid.
The solid in the first octant bounded by the coordinate planes and the plane 3x+6y+4z=12
Homework Equations
[tex]z=3-\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{3}{2}y[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
So I'm using the triple integral type of dzdydx.
At first I set z and x to 0, then z and y to 0 to obtain x and y limits but I think that was incorrect. I'm trying to integrate 3x+6y+4z-12.
I guess the upper limits of z will be the above equation done in editor, z=3-3x/4-3y/2 and lower limit will be 0?
That integration gets really dirty really quick. I doubt it is right. Can someone help point me in the right direction?
