Hi,

Please can someone help me with this problem:

find the triple integral over T( using spherical coordinate)

T: 0<=x<=1
0<= y<=sqrt(1-x^2)
sqrt(x^2+y^2)<= z <= sqrt(2-(X^2+y^2))


please help me just to find the boundaries of the integrals.
I tried but I did not find the solution of the textbook. ( because I set the wrong triple integral) I also tried to draw a picture but ...nothing


Thank you

Use the relations between Cartesian (x,y,z) and spherical coordinates (r,\theta,\phi[/tex]) to substitute for x, y and z:<br /> <br /> x=rsin(\phi)cos(\theta)<br /> y=rsin(\phi)sin(\theta)<br /> z=rcos(\phi)<br /> <br /> where phi is the angle between a vector and the z-axis. theta is the angle between the projection on the x,y plane ad the x-axis.
 
Also don't forget your Jacobian, in this case being r²sin(phi).
 
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...
