SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the volume above the sphere defined by the equation x²+y²+z² = 6 and below the parabloid z = 4-x²-y². The solution involves setting up a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates, specifically using the limits for z from (6-r²)^(1/2) to (4-r²), with r ranging from 0 to √2 and θ from 0 to 2π. The parameters for the integral were confirmed as correct, ensuring accurate volume computation.

Homework Statement


Find the volume above the sphere x^2+y^2+z^2 = 6 and below the parabloid z = 4-x^2-y^2.



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I did a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates
Triple Integral: dzdrdθ
where z is between (6-r^2)^(1/2) to (4-r^2) and dr goes from 0 to 2^(1/2) and dθ goes from 0 to 2θ. Are these the proper parameters?

Assuming you meant r, not dr, θ, not dθ, and 2π, not 2θ, yes.
