Homework Statement


W is the solid bounded by the three coordinate planes and the surface 4x+2y+3z=16, Calculate Mxz=\int\int\int y dV


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


the surface 4x +2y +3z=16 is a plane that crosses boundries at (4,0,0), (0,8,0) and (0,0,16/3)

This is how I set up my integral but I am getting an incorrect answer...
\int\int\int y dzdxdy
0\leqz\leq16-4x-2y
0\leqx\leq1/2(y-8)
0\leqy\leq8

can anyone tell what I'm doing wrong

your boundary.
4x+2y+3z=16
To get the y-range, set x=0, z=0, so y is between 0 and 8
for x-range, set z=0. then x is between 0 and (16-2y)/4
z goes between 0 and (16-4x-2y)/3
the crossing points are irrelavant.
try and see what u get.
 
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...
