Homework Statement



evaluate : \int\int\int_{E} e^z DV

where E is enclosed by the paraboloid z = 1 + x^2 + y^2 , the cylinder x^2 + r^2 = 5


I just need help setting this up.

I know that theta is between 0 and 2pi

Now is z between 0 and 1 + r ? and r is between 0 and sqrt(5).

Would the iterated integral set up in cylindrical coordinate look like this :
\int^{2\pi}_{0}\int^{\sqrt{5}}_{0}\int^{1+r}_{0}e^z dz* r*dr *d\theta

Almost. Since the paraboloid is given by z= 1+ x^2+ y^2, the limit on z should be 1+ r^2 not 1+ r.

But have you copied the problem correctly? One of the surfaces bounding the region you give as "x^2+ r^2= 5". Was that supposed to be x^2+ y^2= 5? If so the two surfaces do NOT completely bound a region. In your integrals you seem to be assuming that the lower boundary is z= 0. Is that given?

I'm sorry its was real late, its supposed to be x^2 + y^2 = 5.

No, I wasn't sure so I assumed that part. It does not specify
 
If that is correct then there is NO region enclosed by those surfaces!
 
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...
