Hi everybody i have a problem please help me (sorry for my bad english)

Homework Equations


volume of the space region inside sphere outside coni
z^2=x^2+y^2 coni
x^2+y^2+z^2 =1 sphere

Hi melihaltintas

First, always plot the graph so you can understand how to find the limits.

I have attached the graph of the xz-trace coordinates (in the plane y = 0). The region of volume that you need to find is shaded in blue.

Start by finding the points of intersection of the sphere and cones (in the plane y = 0).

Your equations for the cones and sphere in the plane y = 0, become:
z^2=x^2<br /> \\x^2+z^2 =1
Solve these two equations to find the x and z. From there, you'll be able to find the two required angles for ##\phi## which define the limits.

Finally, use the triple integral formula in terms of spherical coordinates:
\int \int \int \rho^2 \sin \phi d\rho d\phi d\theta

thanks a lot :)
 
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...
