Homework Statement



Find the volume of a region bounded above by the unit sphere x^2+y^2+z^2=1 and below by the cone z=sqrt(x^2+y^2). I am really confuse here.. ><


Homework Equations


Sphere: x^2+y^2+z^2=1
Cone: z=sqrt(x^2+y^2)

The Attempt at a Solution


I had plot the graph of the sphere and cone and i am pretty confuse to use. Just want to have some help.

Volume requires a triple integral. How would you set this up? have you ever used polar/cylindrical/spherical coordinates?
 
Tea, i try using polar coordinates..

In the spherical, the equation of the sphere is r = 1

And the cone is rcosθ=√(r^2 sin^2 θ cos^2 φ + r^2 sin^2 θ sin^2 φ)=rsinθ

If we divide both sides by rcosθ, then we get

tanθ=1,θ=π/4

So, we have the triple integral:

∫0-2pi ∫0-(π/4) ∫0-1 (r^2 sinθdrdθdφ)

I am not sure if this is correct..
 
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...
