Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around setting up a triple integral for a region defined by specific curves and a cylinder. The curves include linear equations and the cylinder is described by a quadratic equation.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants are discussing the limits of integration for the variables x, y, and z, with some expressing confusion about how to correctly interpret the boundaries defined by the curves. There are attempts to clarify the setup and the relationships between the variables.

Discussion Status

Some guidance has been offered regarding the structure of the triple integral, and participants are actively questioning the limits of integration. There is an ongoing exploration of the correct interpretations of the curves and how they relate to the variables involved.

Contextual Notes

Participants note confusion regarding the limits for x and y, indicating a mix-up between the curves that define these limits. There is also a mention of a lack of responses to one participant's post, suggesting a desire for feedback on their approach.

[tex]\int \int\int z dx dy dz[/tex]

where the intergral area is determined by these curves:

y=0,z=0,x+y=2,2y+x=6

and the cylinder: y^2+z^2=4

What have you attempted so far or what difficulties do you have?

PS: since you sent me a PM about LaTeX, here's a hint.
You can create a 'nice' triple integral, with less space in between. Click for the code.

[tex]\iiint z dx dy dz[/tex]

Perhaps you should clarify that a bit, what are the limits for x,y,z?
 
x:2<<6
y:2<<2-x
z:-2<< sqrt(4-y^2)

but I'm cofused about x,y limits, I'm not sure and i mix between those too many curves to get the variable limits
 
I wonder why nobody hasen't reply on my post yet! Have I made a mistake or something wrong?
