Sketch & Evaluate Region of Integration

In summary, the given region of integration is a triangle with vertices at (0,0), (2,0), and (2,2). The integral should be rewritten in the order dydxdz and the evaluation process should be done using either order. To correct the sketch, vertical lines should be marked at x=0 and x=2 on the xy-plane. Then, the line y=x should be drawn on the xy-plane. The base of the triangle is the range from z=0 to z=2-x, where the top of the triangle is the plane z=2-x which slopes downward from x=0,z=2 to x=2,z=0.

You seem to have draw the base as a rectangle when it should be a triangle but since you have not marked which axis is the x-axis, which the y-axis, and which the z-axis, I can't be sure.
If you intended the axis on which "2" is marked to be the x-axis, then you have drawn a "left handed" coordinate system when the standard is "right handed"- curling the fingers of your right hand from the x-axis to the y-axis, your thumb should point in the direction of the positive z-axis.

Since the "outermost" integral is from x= 0 to x= 2, mark vertical lines at x= 0 and x= 2 on the xy-plane.

Since the second integral is from y= 0 to y= x, draw the line y= x on the xy-plane. That gives a triangle with vertices at (0,0), (2,0), and (2,2).

Since "innermost" integral is from z= 0 to z= 2- x, that triangle is the base and the top of the region is the plane z= 2-x. That slopes downward from x=0, z= 2 on the left to x=2, z= 0 on the right.

uh, i believe you aren't looking at the corrections, the first one, in the first page is something else... sorry
 

Related to Sketch & Evaluate Region of Integration

1. What is the purpose of sketching and evaluating the region of integration?

The purpose of sketching and evaluating the region of integration is to visually represent the area in which a double or triple integral is being calculated. This allows for a better understanding of the problem and can help identify any potential errors in the calculation.

2. How do you sketch the region of integration?

To sketch the region of integration, you must first identify the boundaries of the region by setting up equations for each boundary. Then, you can plot these equations on a coordinate plane and shade in the area that represents the region of integration.

3. What information can be determined from the sketch of the region of integration?

The sketch of the region of integration can provide information such as the shape of the region, the boundaries of the region, and any points of intersection between the boundaries. This information can be used to set up the limits of integration for the integral.

4. How do you evaluate the region of integration?

To evaluate the region of integration, you must set up the limits of integration for the integral based on the boundaries identified in the sketch. Then, you can use the appropriate integration techniques to solve the integral and find the value of the region of integration.

5. What are some common mistakes when sketching and evaluating the region of integration?

Some common mistakes when sketching and evaluating the region of integration include incorrectly identifying the boundaries of the region, not considering the orientation of the region, and failing to account for any holes or overlaps within the region. It is important to carefully analyze the sketch and double check the setup of the integral to avoid these mistakes.
