Spherical limits of integration for a region bounded by a cone and a praboloid

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on evaluating the volume of a region D bounded by a cone and a paraboloid using cylindrical and spherical coordinates. The first integral is established with limits for z as r to 2 - r^2, r from 0 to √2, and θ from 0 to 2π. The second integral is set up with two cases for r and z, while the third integral in spherical coordinates presents challenges in determining the limits for ρ. The intersection of the cone and paraboloid is crucial for finding these limits.

Hi everybody, I am trying to solve the following problem and I get stuck on the last question. I would appreciate a lot that someone helps me .

Here is the problem: Let D be the region bounded from below by the cone z= the root of (x^2 + z^2), and from above by the paraboloid z = 2 – x^2 – y^2
1. Set up and evaluate the iterated integral in cylindrical coordinates that gives the volume of D using the order of integration dz dr dΘ
2. Set up ( without evaluating) the iterated integral in cylindrical coordinates that gives the volume of D using the order of integration dz dr dΘ
3. Set up ( without evaluating) the iterated integral in sphericalrical coordinates that gives the volume of D using the order of integration dρdФdΘ

For the 1st question, I get : z between r and 2 - r^2
r between 0 and sqrt2
the angle between 0 and 2 pi

For the second question, I find 2 integrals : for the first one : r between 0 and sqrt(2-z), z between 1 and 3, same angle.
For the integral two : r between 0 and z, z between 1 and 0, same angle.

However, for the third question, when I rty finding the limits of integration for ρ, i get the following equation : ρcosσ + ρ^2 - (ρcosσ)^2 - 2 = 0 and I cannot solve it.

Could someone help me. THANKS A LOT.

Did you use intersection of cone and paraboloid to find limits? The cone should be of less importance (just tells you angles from z-axis). The radial limits should be from one point on the parabola to another point on the parabola. If you're having trouble visualizing, try integrating the region in the plane between y=x^2 and y=|x|, but using polar coordinates.
