MHB What is the value of the triple integral for the given limits and function?

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on evaluating the triple integral of the function 6xz with specific limits. Participants discuss the integration steps, emphasizing the importance of treating z as a constant during the x integration. After several calculations, they arrive at the integral expression for z, leading to the final evaluation. The correct value of the triple integral is determined to be 1. The conversation highlights the collaborative effort in solving complex integrals and clarifying integration techniques.

\begin{align}\displaystyle
v_{\tiny{s6.15.6.3}}&=\displaystyle
\int_{0}^{1}\int_{0}^{z}\int_{0}^{x+z}
6xz \quad
\, dy \, dx\, dz
\end{align}

$\text{ok i kinda got ? with $x+z$ to do the first step?}\\$
$\text{didn't see an example}$

I would write:

$$I=6\int_0^1 z\int_0^z x\left(\int_0^{x+z}\,dy\right)\,dx\,dz$$

What would your next step be?
 
actually i was going to that,,,
but to scared
ill get to this in the morn.
to hard with just a small cell phone

\begin{align}\displaystyle
I&=6\int_0^1 z\int_0^z x\left[\int_0^{x+z}\,dy\right]\,dx\,dz\\
&=6\int_0^1 z\int_0^z x\Biggr|y\Biggr|_0^{x+z}\,dy \, dx \, dz\\
&=6\int_0^1 z\int_0^z x(x+z) \,dx\,dz\\
&=6\int_0^1 z\int_0^z (x^2+xz) \,dx\,dz\\
\end{align}
hopefully

So far so good. What's the next step? (Remember that z is treated as a constant when you do the x integration.)

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
&=6\int_0^1 z\int_0^z (x^2+xz) \,dx\,dz\\
&=6z\int_0^1 \biggr|\frac{x^3}{3}+\frac{x^2}{2}z\biggr|_0^z \,dz\\
\end{align*}

no sure about $z$ ?

Again, so far so good. Now plug in the limits for x. You will be substituting x = z and x = 0 into your limit.

[math]\left ( \frac{z^3}{3}+\frac{z^2}{2}z \right ) - \left ( \frac{0^3}{3}+\frac{0^2}{2}z \right )[/math]

Edit: Whoops! There is an error in your work but it doesn't involve the x integration you just did. That z on the left side of the integral needs to be back under the integration symbol. z is not considered to be a constant when you are integrating over z. After you integrate over x you should have
[math]6 \int_0^1 z \cdot \left [ \left ( \frac{z^3}{3}+\frac{z^2}{2}z \right ) - \left ( \frac{0^3}{3}+\frac{0^2}{2}z \right ) \right ]
~ dz[/math]

\begin{align*}\displaystyle

- \left ( \frac{0^3}{3}+\frac{0^2}{2}z \right ) \right ] ~ dz\\
&=6\int_{0}^{1}\frac{z^4}{3}+\frac{z^4}{2} \,dz\\
&=6\int_{0}^{1}\frac{5z^4}{6} \,dz\\
&=5\left[\frac{z^5}{5}\right]_0^1 \\
&=\color{red}{1}
