    Solid Volume
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the volume of a solid bounded by the paraboloids z=2x^2+y^2 and z=12-x^2-2y^2. One user claims to have found the volume to be 24π and seeks confirmation and a step-by-step solution. Participants suggest finding the intersection of the two functions and integrating the difference over the relevant area. There is a note that the thread should have been posted in the Calculus & Beyond section instead of Precalculus Math. The user expresses relief upon receiving positive feedback about their initial calculation.

Volume of a solid limited by these two paraboloids z=2x^2{}+y^2{} and z=12-x^2{}-2y^2{}



hi can someone help me? I tried to solve this and my solution was \ 24\Pi is it correct? can someone solve this step by step?

I am assuming you are in calculus. In this case you would find the intersection of these two functions, and integrate the difference of the two functions over the areas.

How did you get your result of 24 pi? Show us what you did and we'll help you with it.

BTW, you should have posted this in the Calculus & Beyond section, not the Precalculus Math section.

thanks you guys :)
 

Thread 'Finding the number of ways to arrange identical balls in a circle (3 different colors)'

I tried to combine those 2 formulas but it didn't work. I tried using another case where there are 2 red balls and 2 blue balls only so when combining the formula I got ##\frac{(4-1)!}{2!2!}=\frac{3}{2}## which does not make sense. Is there any formula to calculate cyclic permutation of identical objects or I have to do it by listing all the possibilities? Thanks

Thread 'Making the denominator of a certain fraction real'

Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
