Homework Statement


f(x) is a differentiable function let
F(t)= \int\int\int_{x^2+y^2+z^2\leq t^2} f(x^2+y^2+z^2) dx dy dz

compute F^{'}(t)

Homework Equations



x=p sin \phi cos\theta
y= p sin \phi sin\theta
z= p cos \phi

spherical bounds 0<p<t 0<\phi<\Pi 0<\theta < 2\Pi

p^2 sin\phi = jacobian determinant

3. The attempt at a solution

carried through the substitution \int\int\int f(p^2) p^2 sin \phi dp d\phi d\theta

dont know how to evaluate \intf(p^2) sin\phi d\phi?

Be careful about putting those repeated copies of the template in your questions.

The remaining integral is trivial. Your function is independent of \phi so the \phi integration is trivial; it's just the integral of sin(\phi)
 
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...
