Homework Statement
Find the volume of the solid enclosed by the parabolic cylinder y=10 - a2x2 and the planes z=y and z=2-y, where a > 0 is a constant.
Homework Equations
I have graphed the 3 surfaces on Maple to visualize the solid enclosed by these surfaces but the problem is there is no closed solid. There is not one single closed solid formed so I really don't know which volume we are looking for. Computing the volume of an unclosed solid would give me an infinite volume, which I am sure is not what the question asks. Can someone please help me?
using a =2
