What is the value of the triple integral 15.4.08?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The value of the triple integral \( I_{15.5.8} \) is conclusively calculated to be \(-6\). The integral is defined as \( \int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \int_{0}^{3y} \int_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2} dz \, dx \, dy \). The evaluation process involves correctly integrating with respect to \( z \), followed by \( x \) and \( y \), ensuring that the limits of integration are appropriately defined. The final result is confirmed through multiple evaluations and corrections in the steps leading to the conclusion.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of triple integrals in multivariable calculus
  • Familiarity with integration techniques, particularly with respect to multiple variables
  • Knowledge of the properties of definite integrals
  • Ability to manipulate algebraic expressions and apply limits of integration
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the evaluation of triple integrals in different coordinate systems (Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical)
  • Learn about the application of Fubini's Theorem in multiple integrals
  • Explore common pitfalls in setting up limits for multivariable integrals
  • Practice solving similar problems from Thomas' Calculus, 12th Edition, focusing on sections related to triple integrals
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in calculus, particularly those focusing on multivariable calculus, as well as professionals in fields requiring advanced mathematical modeling and integration techniques.

\begin{align*}\displaystyle

\int_{0}^{3y}

OK not sure about these remaining steps
red is answer from WolframAlpha

Your middle integral is ill-defined. You don't get y in the limits of an integral defined with dy. Only x should remain after evaluation for z and y.

Did you construct this integral or was it printed in the book you don't want to buy?

Its from
Thomas calculus 12th edition 15.5.8

I was just trying to follow a very similar example

symbolab showed steps but it was confusingIm not going to buy another textbook especially when same thing is in the one I have

Are you sure it isn't supposed to be $\,{dz}\,{dx}\,{dy}$? Because that does give $-6$.

As tkhunny said you can't integrate with respect to a bound variable ($y$).

your right I copied wrongView attachment 7694
 
ok want to go thru this again
the next step not sure because it has an x and y in it.:confused:

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I_{15.5.8}&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y}
\int_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2}
dz \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y}
\Biggr|z\Biggr|_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2} \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y} 8-2x^2-4y^2 \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \Biggr|-\frac{2 x^3}{3} - 4 x y^2 + 8 x\Biggr|_{0}^{3y} dy \\
W|A&=\color{red}{-6}
\end{align*}

First do the inner integral, for which the value of $y$ stays fixed: $y$ is simply a constant as far as the inner integral is concerned. (Imagine, if you like, that $y = \pi$ and perform the inner integration with respect to $x$. The result will be an expression in terms of $y$ that can then be integrated with respect to $y$.)
 
like this?

$$ \begin{align*}\displaystyle
I_{15.5.8}&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y}
\int_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2}
dz \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y}
\Biggr|z\Biggr|_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2} \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y} 8-2x^2-4y^2 \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \Biggr|-\frac{2 x^3}{3} - 4 x y^2 + 8 x\Biggr|_{0}^{3y} dy \\
W|A&=\color{red}{-6}
\end{align*}

Correct.

You wrote to me:

tried next steps but no -6
So, what does your next step look like?
Specifically, what is the remaining integral w.r.t. $y$?
 
  • #11
there is a sign error somewhere it this...:(

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I_{15.5.8}&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y}
\int_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2}
dz \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y}
\Biggr|z\Biggr|_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2} \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y} 8-2x^2-4y^2 \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \Biggr|-\frac{2 x^3}{3} - 4 x y^2 + 8 x\Biggr|_{0}^{3y} \, dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{2(3y)^3}{3} - 4 (3y) y^2 + 8 (3y) \, dy\\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-2y^3-12y^3+24y \, \, dy\\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-14y^3+24y \, \, dy\\
&=\Biggr|\frac{-14y^4}{4}+\frac{24y^2}{2}\Biggr|_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \\
&=\frac{-14(\sqrt{2})^4}{4}+\frac{24(\sqrt{2})^2}{2}\\
&=-14+24\\
&=6\\
W|A&=\color{red}{-6}

Something goes wrong in the 6th equality.
Your coefficient of $y^3$ is not correct.

ok think this is it

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I_{15.5.8}&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \int_{0}^{3y} \int_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2} dz \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \int_{0}^{3y} \Biggr|z\Biggr|_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2} \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \int_{0}^{3y} 8-2x^2-4y^2 \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \Biggr|-\frac{2 x^3}{3} - 4 x y^2 + 8 x\Biggr|_{0}^{3y} \, dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{2(3y)^3}{3} - 4 (3y) y^2 + 8 (3y) \, dy\\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-18y^3-12y^3+24y \, \, dy\\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-30y^3+24y \, \, dy\\
&=\Biggr|\frac{-30y^4}{4}+\frac{24y^2}{2}\Biggr|_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \\
&=\frac{-30(\sqrt{2})^4}{4}+\frac{24(\sqrt{2})^2}{2}\\
&=-30+24\\
&=-6\\
W|A&=\color{red}{-6}
\end{align*}

Suggestions ??
