    Bounded Solid
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around evaluating the volume of a solid bounded above by the sphere defined by the equation x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 9 and laterally by the cylinder given by x^2 + y^2 = 4x. There is confusion regarding the interpretation of the problem statement, particularly whether the solid is above or below the sphere. Participants emphasize the importance of accurately sketching the regions involved to visualize the solid correctly, suggesting that the solid is contained within the sphere. The conversation highlights the need to set up the appropriate integrals in cylindrical coordinates to calculate the volume accurately. Overall, the focus is on clarifying the geometric relationships and ensuring proper understanding of the solid's boundaries.

I think you need some face-to-face time with your teacher. I gather that English isn't your first language, but still, you don't seem to be understanding anything we are trying to tell you.

I agree completely. We are more than 30 posts into this problem, and you still don't understand what the solid looks like, despite multiple graphs and explanations from LCKurtz and me.

sorry , after looking it carefully ,the solid formed is the red part ? (refer to the attachment)
So , the red part represent the projection to xy plane ?

You have errors in your work. But you are supposed to do it in cylindrical coordinates anyway. You need ##dz,~dr,~d\theta## variables in your integrals.
