Evaluate the triple integral paraboloid

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on evaluating the triple integral ∫∫∫E 5x dV, where E is defined by the paraboloid x = 5y² + 5z² and the plane x = 5. The user employs cylindrical coordinates to set the bounds for integration, leading to the integral ∫(from 0 to 2π) ∫(from 0 to 1) ∫(from 5r² to 5) 5xr dx dr dθ. Despite following the correct setup, the user reports consistently obtaining incorrect results, prompting further inquiry into the evaluation process and potential errors in the integration bounds.

Evaluate the triple integral ∫∫∫E 5x dV, where E is bounded by the paraboloid
x = 5y2+ 5z2 and the plane x = 5.

My work so far:
Since it's a paraboloid, where each cross section parallel to the plane x = 5 is a circle, cylindrical polars is what I used, so my bounds are 5y2+5z2 ≤x ≤ 5 -----> 5r2 ≤ x ≤ 5, since each cross-section is a full circle 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π. Also, when x=0, y2 + z2=0 -----> r=0 and x=5 -----> y2+z2=1 -----> r=1, so my bounds for r are 0 ≤r ≤ 1.

My triple integral is then:
∫∫∫E 5x dV = ∫(from 0 to 2π) ∫(from 0 to 1) ∫(from 5r2 to 5) 5xr dx dr dθ

I keep getting the wrong answer after evaluating it

What answer do you get when you evaluate it? What do you think is the correct answer?
 
Your domain of integration is ##E=\{(x,y,z) \in\mathbb{R}^3, \ 0\le x \le 5, 0\le y^2 + z^2 \le x/5\}##

If you sketch what it looks like, you'll see that a natural change of variable is ##(x,y,z) = \phi(x',\rho,\theta) = (x', \rho \cos\theta, \rho \sin\theta) ##, with ##\rho > 0## and ##\theta \in [0,2\pi[## to make it bijective except for the points on the ##x## axis.

Then, your reciprocal domain is ##\phi^{-1}(E) = \{ 0\le x' \le 5,\ 0<\rho\le \sqrt{x'/5}, \ 0\le \theta < 2\pi \} ##
