Integral Calculus Help Needed: \iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\ dy\ dz

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around evaluating the triple integral $$\iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\ dy\ dz$$ over the region defined by $$T=\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3:\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\leq z\leq 1\}$$. Participants explore various methods for solving the integral, including coordinate transformations and integration techniques.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Mathematical reasoning
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in changing the integral to spherical and cylindrical coordinates.
  • Another participant suggests separating the integral into two parts, focusing on the integration in the z-direction first, and then converting to polar coordinates for the x-y plane.
  • A later reply highlights a specific challenge with the integral $$\int z^4 e^{z^4}dz$$, indicating it may be problematic.
  • Another participant provides a detailed step-by-step approach for converting the integral to cylindrical coordinates and changing the order of integration, leading to a new form of the integral.
  • The final steps involve evaluating the integral using a substitution, although the feasibility of this approach is not confirmed by others.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the best method for evaluating the integral, with multiple approaches and challenges presented. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the most effective solution.

Contextual Notes

Some participants' approaches depend on specific assumptions about the integrals and transformations, which may not be universally accepted or verified within the discussion.

Hi! I have some problems with the integral
$$\iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\ dy\ dz$$
where
$$T=\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3:\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\leq z\leq 1\}$$
I have tried to change it to spherical and cylindrical coordinates but... nothing
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Wellcome on MHB laura!... may be that the best way is to separate the integrations in the following way...

$\displaystyle I = \int_{A} \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\ dx\ dy\ \int_{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}^{1} z^{4}\ e^{z^{4}}\ dz$ (1)

... where A is the unit circle on the xy plane. First You solve the integral in z and then You can change the integral in x and y in polar coordinates...

Kind regards

Re: triple integral

Thanks $\chi\sigma$ but the problem is in $\int z^4 e^{z^4}dz$...

Step 1. Convert to cylindrical coordinates: $$\iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\, dy\, dz = \int_0^1\int_r^1\int_0^{2\pi} rz^4e^{z^4}\,rd\theta\, dz\, dr = 2\pi\int_0^1\int_r^1r^2z^4e^{z^4}dz\, dr$$ (doing the $\theta$ integral first).

Step 2. Change the order of integration. The integral is over a triangular region in the $(r,z)$-plane. If $z$ goes from $r$ to $1$ (and then $r$ goes from $0$ to $1$), then when you switch the order, you find that $r$ goes from $0$ to $z$ (and then $z$ goes from $0$ to $1$). Thus the integral becomes $$2\pi\int_0^1\int_0^zr^2z^4e^{z^4}dr\,dz = 2\pi\int_0^1\frac{z^3}3z^4e^{z^4}dz,$$ which you can evaluate by making the substitution $u=z^4$.
