Homework Statement



find volume of solid bounded by z=x, y=x, x+y=2 and z=0


The Attempt at a Solution



first need to find domain.

for x bounds, when y=0, x=0, when y = x, x+x=2 so x=1 therefore 0 < x < 1
for y bounds, x < y < 2-x

now I am trying to work out what i integrate over. usually its the plane z, so if z=x then the integral is SS x.dxdy

is that right?

now i know that's the right integral. but when i integrate first with respect to y, there is no y.

so just integrate x with respect to x which is x^2/2 then sub in 1 and the final answer is 1/2?

but I am not sure if its that simple?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
