Homework Statement
Use polar coordinates to find the volume of the solid inside the hemisphere z=sqrt(16-x^2-y^2) and inside the cylinder x^2+y^2-4x=0
Homework Equations
z=sqrt(16-x2-y2)
x2+y2-4x=0
x=rcos(Θ)
y=rsin(Θ)
z=√(16-r2)
The Attempt at a Solution
∫∫ r√(16-r2) dr dΘ
The problem is the bounds; because the circle isn't centered it's throwing me off. Would dr be from 2 to 4? That's the start and end of the radius as it's a circle centered at (2,0) with a radius of 2. Of course I'm assuming that dΘ is from 0 to 2pi. I tried integrating with dr from 0 to 2 and from 2 to 4, but both times the answer was different than Wolfram's.
