Triple integrals solution check

In summary, the first conversation discusses setting up a triple integral for a given function over a specific region. The second conversation talks about setting up a triple integral in cylindrical coordinates to find the volume bounded by three different surfaces. There is a discrepancy in the notation used in the second conversation, as the upper bound for the figure should be z = r^2 instead of z = x^2 + y^2.

Are these correct?
Thanks in advance!

1.) Set up the triple integral for ##f(x,y,z) = xy + 2xz## on the region ##0 ≤ x ≤4, 0 ≤ y ≤ 2## and ##0 ≤ x ≤ 3xy + 1##.

##\displaystyle \int_0^4 \int_0^2 \int_0^{3xy+1} 2y +2xz\ dz\ dy\ dx##

[tex]\text{2.) Set up the triple integral in cylindrical coordinates to find the volume bounded by}\\
z = x^2 + y^2, z = 0, x^2 + y^2 = 1\ \text{and}\ x^2 + y^2 = 4[/tex].

##\displaystyle \int_1^2 \int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{\sqrt{2}} r^2 r\ dr\ d\theta\ dz##

How did xy become 2y in the first integral?

I don't understand how you set up the second one, it does not look right.

The first one looks funny. Did you mean [itex]0 \le z \leq 3xy+1[/itex] ?

First, yes, in problem 1, you mean "[itex]0\le z\le 3xy+ 1[/itex]". But the integral is set up correctly.

In problem 2, there is no good reason to write "[itex]r^2r[/itex]" rather than "[itex]r^3[/itex]".
More importantly, the upper bound on the figure is [itex]z= x^2+ y^2[/itex] which is [itex]z= r^2[/itex] in cylindrical coordinates.

What you have, [itex]\int_1^2\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^\sqrt{2} r^3 drd\theta dz[/itex], would be the integral of [itex]r^2[/itex] over the cylinder whose base is a circle with center at (0, 0), radius [itex]\sqrt{2}[/itex], and extending from z= 1 to z= 2. What you want is z to go from 0 go [itex]r^2[/itex] (so the z-integral will have to be inside the r-integral).
 

1. What is a triple integral?

A triple integral is a mathematical concept used to calculate the volume of a three-dimensional object. It involves integrating a function over a three-dimensional region in space.

2. How do you solve a triple integral?

To solve a triple integral, you must first set up the integral by identifying the limits of integration for each variable. Then, you can use various techniques such as substitution, integration by parts, or partial fractions to evaluate the integral.

3. What is the purpose of a "triple integral solution check"?

The purpose of a triple integral solution check is to verify the accuracy of the calculated solution. This can help identify any errors made during the integration process.

4. How do you check if a triple integral solution is correct?

To check if a triple integral solution is correct, you can use the properties of integrals such as linearity, symmetry, and the fundamental theorem of calculus. Additionally, you can plug in the solution into the original integral and see if it yields the expected result.

5. Are there any common mistakes made when solving triple integrals?

Yes, there are a few common mistakes that can occur when solving triple integrals. These include incorrect identification of the limits of integration, mistakes in the integrand or integrals, and errors in the application of integration techniques. It's important to carefully check each step of the solution to avoid these mistakes.
