Homework Statement


Find the volume of the solid enclosed by the paraboloid z=x^2 + 3y^2 and the planes x=0, y=x, y=1, z=0

Homework Equations


I'm not really sure what's getting me about this, but I'm not really sure how to proceed after finding the x, y, and z intercepts...

The Attempt at a Solution


x intercept: 0
y intercept: 0
z intercept: 0

Would I just take bounds of y to be 1 and x and the bounds of x to be 0 and 1?
∫∫x^2 + 3y^2 dydx → The dy result would be yx^2 + y^3 → (x^3+x^3 -(x^2+1)) → 2X^3 - x^2 - 1 and then continue to integrate... ∫2x^3-x^2-1 dx → ((x^4)/2 -(x^2)/3 -x) → 1/2 - 1/3 - 1 = -5/6?

If that correct or am I missing something important?

Have you drawn a sketch of the solid whose volume you're supposed to find? Also, you should draw a sketch of the region in the x-y plane that forms the base of this solid. That would help you figure out what the integration limits need to be.

I struggled to sketch it myself so I ended up using a software and plotted the parabaloid with the two y= planes. I'm not really sure where to go from there, all the examples we've done thus far have had at least 1 non zero intercept.
 
Prove $$\int\limits_0^{\sqrt2/4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx = \frac{\pi^2}{8}.$$ Let $$I = \int\limits_0^{\sqrt 2 / 4}\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-x^2}}\arcsin\sqrt{\frac{(x-1)\left(x-1+x\sqrt{9-16x}\right)}{1-2x}} \, \mathrm dx. \tag{1}$$ The representation integral of ##\arcsin## is $$\arcsin u = \int\limits_{0}^{1} \frac{\mathrm dt}{\sqrt{1-t^2}}, \qquad 0 \leqslant u \leqslant 1.$$ Plugging identity above into ##(1)## with ##u...
