Homework Statement


The solid region W is bounded by the ellipsoid x^2/3 + y^2/5 + z^2/7 = 1. Find the triple integral ∫∫∫cos((35x^2 + 21y^2 + 15z^2)^(3/2))dV.


Homework Equations



Domain: x^2/3 + y^2/5 + z^2/7 = 1

Integral: ∫∫∫cos((35x^2 + 21y^2 + 15z^2)^(3/2))dV

The Attempt at a Solution



I converted the integral to spherical but after that, I do not know where to go. I cannot get rid of the cosine and the whole equation just seems extremely complex.

How did you do that? If done in a clever way, I think the problem gets a lot simpler.

Your domain should have ##\leq 1##.
 
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...
