Homework Statement


Find the volume bounded by sphere rho = rt. 6 and the paraboloid z = x^2 + y^2
and locate the centroid of this region


The attempt at a solution

So Thats the integral that I made for this problem, but I'm having trouble integrating it. the rdr throws it off.

Please Help~! I am having some trouble.

You first integrate with z, that gives you rz in the inside. Using Fubini you get (meaning evaluate the integral) r\sqrt{6-r^2} - r(r^2) and now continue with r and theta.
 
So when i evaluate it, I get -12pi rt6 as the answer.
Am I doing it wrong? I feel like I am not doing right. If you could, could I see how someone would do a problem like this? Evaluating integrals is a little confusing for me.

And then I need lots of help on the centroid part as well. Thanks~
 
Why don't you show us what you did and we can comment on it.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
