Integral in cylindrical coordinates

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates for a region defined by the inequalities of the spheres and hyperboloids. The correct bounds for the integral in the order dzdrdtheta are established as 0 <= theta <= 2pi, sqrt(3)/2 <= r <= 1, and -sqrt(2-r^2) <= z <= sqrt(2-r^2). Additionally, the alternative order drdzdtheta yields bounds of 0 <= theta <= 2pi, sqrt(z^2 + 3)/2 <= r <= sqrt(2-z^2), and -1 <= z <= 1. The discussion emphasizes the importance of considering the geometric implications of the surfaces involved when determining the order of integration.

Homework Statement



I need to calculate the integral where the region is given by the inside of x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 2 and outside of 4x^2 + 4y^2 - z^2 = 3

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



So far, I think that in cylindrical coordinates (dzdrdtheta):

0 <= theta <= 2pi
sqrt(3)/2 <= r <= 1
-sqrt(2-r^2) <= z <= sqrt(2-r^2)

Are the bounds for the radius and z correct?

Do you know what this figure looks like? If you look at the surfaces you should see that you don't want to do the dz integral first, on the inside. Do you see why? And don't forget the ##r## in your cylindrical volume element.
 
In the order drdzdtheta, i get:

0 <= theta <= 2pi
sqrt(z^2 + 3)/2 <= r <= sqrt(2-z^2)
-1 <= z <= 1

I understand your point, the radius varies from z = -1 to z = 1 because of the hyperboloid, but the exercise is asking me to give the integrals for both orders: dzdrdtheta, drdzdtheta

Thanks for the help.
 
If you look at a cross-section in the ##z-r## plane you will see that ##z## is a two-piece function of ##r## on both the top and bottom. So doing ##z## first will require two integrals for ##dz##.
