Hard Problem** Double Integral volume of tetrahedron bounded by 4x+4y+7z=112 x=15y x=0 z=0
image included
k so i have the plane's intercepts at y = -16, x=-26, and z = -16
not exactly sure how to set up the limits of integration
so wait it would have to be split up with two integrals then
Hey, I'm thnking layman's method here, so don't trust me. Er..have you tried just pluggin in the values?
aww wait. I see how complex this is. So, vectors is not my thing.
\[\int\limits_{-26}^{-1680/67}\int\limits_{-4/7*x-16}^{0}(-4/7)*x-y-16dydx\]
that should be the first equation
then add + \[\int\limits_{-1680/67}^{0}\int\limits_{(1/15)x}^{0}(-4/7)x-y-16dydx\]
right?
i got this by finding the equation of the line that goes from the intercepts y=-16 to x=-26 **basically just the equation of the plane 4x+7y+7z=112 and setting z=0
then the problem is that it intercepts y=1/15x so you'd have to find the interception of above with y=1/15x aka 1/15x=-4/7x-16 again, where -4/7x-16 is from taking the above equation and setting z = 0 and solving for y
is this right?
answer = -(1225024/9849)
could very easily be completely wrong on this
Sam, please say you got something on this.
:0
it can't have negative area tho right?
er wait it should because it's in the um 8th quadrant
er crap yeah just put it in and it's wrong
Honestly, I have no idea.
yeah, think i'm going to have to take this to the math lab guarantee everyone is going to get this one wrong
eh that's ok, thank you for the help
yeah. sorry bro
u can try ask yahoo answers
