Homework Statement


Hey guys, I have one question: how can I integrate the function f(x,y,z)=x + y + z over the region between the paraboloid 4-x^2-y^2 and the xy-plane?


Homework Equations


For the paraboloid region, I used polar coordinates and found the volume of the region to be 8pi. Now, I have to find the integration of the other function x+y+z in this.


The Attempt at a Solution


Alright, I tried using a triple integral to no avail (rcos(\theta) +rsin(theta) +z)r drd(theta) dz. I do not know the limits of integration (hardest part of the problem for me). Is there anyway to solve this with only a double integral? Or would I have to use cylindrical/polar whatever triple integration to solve it? Thanks..!

How could you find the volume if you don't know the limits of integration? If it was because you integrated
\int\int (4- x^2- y^2) dA= \int\int (4- r^2) r dr d\theta[/itex] <br /> then you should be able to see that is the same as<br /> \int\int\int_0^{4-x^2-y} dz dA= \int\int\int_0^{4- r^2} r dzdrd\theta
 
ohh...but how is the triple integral from 0 to 4-x^2-y^2 ? I know it's the function, but graphically, I don't understand. Oh well, my homework was due 10 minutes ago and I just turned it in (leaving this question blank) lol. Thanks for the answer though!
 
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...
