Volume bounded by cylinder and planes

Click For Summary

Homework Help Overview

The discussion centers around finding the volume bounded by a cylinder defined by the equation y² + z² = 4 and the planes x = 2y, x = 0, and z = 0. Participants are exploring the use of double integration techniques, specifically type I or type II planar regions.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Assumption checking, Problem interpretation

Approaches and Questions Raised

  • Participants discuss the necessity of using double integration and express a desire to explore alternative methods that do not involve polar coordinates. There are also concerns about the clarity of the problem presentation, particularly regarding the use of images versus text.

Discussion Status

The conversation reflects a mix of attempts to clarify the problem and frustrations regarding the format of the original post. Some participants have offered guidance on how to improve the presentation of the problem to facilitate better assistance.

Contextual Notes

There are ongoing issues related to the clarity of the images provided, with some participants noting that important information is cut off and that the images do not conform to forum guidelines. This has led to a focus on the need for clearer communication in the problem setup.

Many of the regulars here, myself included, will not help on question that is posted as an image, let alone sideways, instead of typing it as forum guidelines specify. Read vela's guidelines for posting at the top of this forum.
 
The two pictures include my attempt at the answer.
 
What else would you like? The problem is stated very succinctly in the textbook as post 1 without more or without fewer words.

The pictures are my attempts at deriving the answer to this NOT simple problem.
 
I wish to double check my answer and see if there are additional ways without using polar coordinates to get to the answer.
 
I agree with LCKurtz. If you want help with your problem, at least put in the effort to post the (second) image so that one can read it without too much effort. Besides being sideways, it appears that your photo cuts off some of your work at the boundaries of the image.

Better yet, post the work directly in the text window.
 
This problem requires a picture in order to solve it.

I provided the essential picture, yet I am getting complaints about posting a picture.

I am assuming that you all did not even attempt to think about this problem.
 
So you are paying NO attention to what you were told?
 
Double integral (4-y^2)^.5 dy dx from x=0 to 4 and y=-2 to x/2

You're going to have to look at picture to even make sense of the scribbles I wrote above. So no more complaints.

You have totally ignored the comments about this image being sideways.

It has also been pointed out that some information is cut off this image.The good folks who provide help on thts forum are volunteers.

Please try to work with us.

Done.

Not done. There are still parts cut off at the edges.
By all means post the diagram as an image, but take the trouble to type all the equations in, preferably using LaTeX. It costs you maybe 10 minutes, but saves everyone else a few minutes each.
You want help, make it easy for people wishing to give you help.
