Homework Statement



Set up but do not evaluate a triple iterated integral to evaluate,

\int \int \int_{V} dV

where B is a region in R^{3} bounded by the planes,

z=0, z=3x, x+z =4, y=0, y=2.

The Attempt at a Solution



I'm just curious to see if what I've come up with as an answer is correct or not.

Can somebody please quickly check my answer?

Thanks again!

Looks ok to me. You can check your answer by just calculating the volume of that prism (1/2 bh)2=12
 
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...
