Homework Statement


I need help setting this integral up in spherical coordinates, the region above the xyplane, inside the sphere x^2+y^2+z^2=2 and outside the cylinder x^2+y^2=2





The Attempt at a Solution




\int^{2\pi}_{0} \int^{\pi/2}_{\pi/4} \int^{\sqrt{2}}_{0} \rho^{2}sin\phid\rhod\thetad\theta -\int^{2\pi}_{0} \int^{\pi/4}_{0} \int^{1/sin\phi}_{0} \rho^{2}sin\phid\rhod\phid\theta

is this correct?

cylinder is x^2+y^2=1 oops, and on first integrand its drho,dphi,dtheta.
 
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...
