Triple Integral ( IS THIS RIGHT?)

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion revolves around evaluating a triple integral over a solid region defined by specific planes and a surface. The solid is enclosed by the planes x=0, y=0, z=2, and the surface defined by z=x^2+y^2, with constraints on x and y being non-negative.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the limits of integration for the triple integral, with some suggesting corrections to the original poster's setup. There are attempts to clarify the geometric interpretation of the region of integration and the relationship between the surfaces involved.

Discussion Status

The discussion is ongoing, with various interpretations of the limits of integration being explored. Some participants have provided alternative limits and expressed their results, while others are seeking clarification on their calculations and the correctness of their approaches.

Contextual Notes

There are indications of formatting issues in the original post, and some participants are questioning the correctness of the limits used in the integration process. The original poster's calculations are also under scrutiny, with different results being reported by various participants.

Triple Integral ( IS THIS RIGHT??)

Homework Statement


Let R be the solid enclosed by the planes x=0, y=0, z=2 and the surface x^2+y^2, where
x\geq0, y\geq0. Compute\int\int\intxdxdydz

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I did \int0-1\int0-1\int(x^2+y^2)-2 xdzdydx

\int0-1\int0-12x-x^3-xy^2 dydx
\int0-1[2xy-x^3y-xy^3/3]0-1 dx
\int0-12x-x^3-x/3dx = 1-1/4-1/6 = 7/12
Can someone tell me if this is the correct answer

pretty hard to read, below might help your formatting...
\int_{0}^1dx\int_{0}^1dy
 


you got x and y's upper limits wrong.
you are calculating the volume between these two surfaces (z(x,y) = x2 + y2, z < 2), see attachment.

okay.. this is what i got...
the lower limit of x is 0 the upper limit is sqrt(2)
same for y
the lower limit of z is x^2+y^2 and the upper limit is 2...
is that right?
 


yes, my result is 4/3.
 


i am getting sqrt(2)/3... what am i doing wrong?... i used the limits that you told me and I am pretty sure that i integrated correctly... can you show me step by step
 


I have switched the order of integration, leaving the integrand unchanged. I think these are the correct limits of integration.
\int_{x = 0}^{\sqrt{2}} \int_{y = 0}^{\sqrt{2 - x^2}} \int_{z = x^2 + y^2}^{2} x~ dz dy dx

The projection of this region onto the x-y plane is the disk x^2 + y^2 <= 2, a disk of radius sqrt(2) centered at the origin. Geometrically, we have a stack of blocks dx by dy that extend from the paraboloid up to the plane z = 2. Then we let the stack sweep out along the y-axis from y = 0 to y = sqrt(2 - x^2) (i.e., out to the boundary of the disk), then finally let this wall of blocks sweep from x = 0 to x = sqrt(2).
