Homework Statement



find the volume between

z +x^2 + y^2 = 4 and x^2+y^2+z^2 = 6

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



what i did first was solve for the intersection points of z
i got 2 and -1.

then you get two equations for x^2 + y^2

x^y+y^2 = 5 and x^2+y^2=2

so then i used polars and i figure that r goes from 2 to 5, z goes from 2 to -1 and pi goes from 0 to 2pi

is that right?

The bounds for z are correct, but the bounds of r=sqrt(x2+y2) change with z:
[tex]\sqrt{4-z}<r<\sqrt{6-z^2}[/tex]

I've attached a plot of the two surfaces. Do you also have to take into account the cap?

The cap is in between the two surfaces.

but what if i want to make z variable doesn't r become constant?
and one more thing when we you are finding the domain in cartesian is polar coordinates also considered to be in the cartesian way ??
 
Yes, you can let r run between constant values and have the limits for z depend on r, if you want. Ehild's suggestion, however, will make the math simpler.
 
i get it 3 domains for z if i look at the figure i get it thanks
