TRIPLE INTEGRALS - How do I do this -I cannot draw at all

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the challenges of visualizing and setting up triple integrals, particularly in the context of a specific region defined by several planes. Participants express difficulties in drawing and conceptualizing the geometric aspects of the problem, which affects their ability to formulate the integrals correctly.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes their method of visualizing the region by imagining slices perpendicular to an axis and taking double integrals over those slices.
  • Another participant expresses confusion specifically about visualizing the plane defined by the equation y + z = x, indicating difficulty in combining this with other planes.
  • A third participant acknowledges understanding the geometric representation of the planes but struggles to draw them accurately.
  • One participant confirms that the limits of integration proposed by another are correct, but does not provide additional visualization strategies.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the limits of integration, but there is no consensus on effective visualization techniques or methods for drawing the geometric figures involved.

Contextual Notes

Participants express limitations in their ability to visualize the geometric shapes and planes, which may affect their understanding of the triple integral setup. There are unresolved aspects regarding how to effectively combine the visual representations of the planes.

I really can't draw at all, so usually i just imagine the figures in my head and then do it

and then I usually imagine a slice perpedicular to some axis (eg x) take the double integral T

(x) over the slice and then integrate that over x.


The Region is bounded by the siz planes z=1 z=2 y=0 y=z x=0 x=y+z


I know it looks pretty obvious and I might that it should be

1<z<2 0<y<z and 0<x<y+z there's my integral,

but any tips or suggestions on drawing or seeing which way to iterate better ? I've tried ...I

cannot draw this in any way ...


Please help

actually I can easily visualize the first 5 planes in my head, but when i try to combine the last one it creates confusion and I can't do it ...

y+z=x ...idk how to draw or visualize something like this
 
I know how it should look -its a plane -then I get 3 lines y=x y=x z=-y ...

but when I try to draw them ...I can't see the plane

I don't know how to how to help you visualize it but the limits on your integral are correct.
