[SOLVED] Triple integral

Homework Statement



Calculate the triple integral of z when z [(r-1), sqrt(1-(r-2)^2)], r [1, 2], tetha [0, 2*pi]

2. The attempt at a solution

I've tried again and again, and I always get (17/4)*pi, while the answer is pi/2. Is there anything wrong with antiderivating in this order: dz, dr, d(tetha)?

Is this problem solved yet or do you still need help?
 
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...
