Homework Statement


Find the volume of the region which is bounded by the parabolic cylinders y=x², x=y² and z=x+y and z=0



Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I solved x=y² for y, and set that equal to y=x², and I got the intersection of the two parabolic cylinders to be at x=1. So I set it up as follows

∫∫∫ dzdydx R={(x,y,z)l 0<x<1,x²<y<sqrt(x), 0<Z<x+y}

(Preted my < are actually < and equal to signs)

I was wondering if someone could tell me if my set up is correct.

Thank you.

Yes, that's exactly right.

By the way, "LaTex" is much nicer. On this board
[ tex ]\int_{z=0}^{x+y}\int_{y=x^2}^{\sqrt{x}}\int_{x= 0}^1 dxdydz [ /tex ]
gives (without the spaces inside [ ])
\int_{z=0}^{x+y}\int_{y=x^2}^{\sqrt{x}}\int_{x= 0}^1 dxdydz

Some other boards use "[math] [/math]" or "\( \)" or other things as delimiters but the codes are the same.
 
Ok I will try that next time. Thank you so much.
 
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...
