Homework Statement


Let S be the region in the first octant under the plane 3x + 2y +z = 4. Find the volume of S.


Homework Equations


idk?

The Attempt at a Solution



[tex]\int^{\frac{4}{3}}_{0}\int^{\frac{3}{2}x + 2}_{0}\int^{-3x - 2y + 4}_{0}dzdydx[/tex]

= [tex]\int^{\frac{4}{3}}_{0}\int^{\frac{3}{2}x + 2}_{0}(-3x - 2y + 4)dydx[/tex]

= [tex]\int^{\frac{4}{3}}_{0}(-\frac{15}{2}x^{2} - 6x + 4)dx[/tex]

= 448/27

Sorry, took a little while to figure out the symbols and dealies, pretty sure it's good to go right now.
 
Mumble, mumble..gotta check the bounds:

The upper line in the z=0 plane obeys the equation 3x+2y=4

Thus,
[tex]0\leq{x}\leq\frac{4}{3}, 0\leq{y}\leq{2}-\frac{3}{2}x[/tex]
Thus, you've got a sign wrong in the y-bound, according to my view.

You're so right, thankyou!
