Homework Statement



Integrate the function over the solid given by the "slice" of an ice-cream cone in the first octant bounded by the planes x=0 and and contained in a sphere centered at the origin with radius 20 and a cone opening upwards from the origin with top radius 16.



Homework Equations



x=psin(phi)cos(theta)
y=psin(phi)sin(theta)
z=pcos(phi)

p^2=x^2+y^2+z^2

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't understand how to get the x y and z bounds from the equations given.

Hi beallio! :smile:

Hint: horizontal slices of thickness dz, again, just like the other problem. :wink:
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
