Problem: Describe what 1<= x^2 + y^2 + z^2 <= 25
looks like in 3-d

Guess: A sphere with a radius between 1 & 25? Don't see how that's possible though...help

Nope,it's the volume (the totality of points) comprised between 2 concentric spheres of radii 1 & 5 with centers at the origin of the coordinate system...

Daniel.
 
WOW! two spheres? Okay. So its the volume between their walls?
