Evaluate the iterated integral: http://www3.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integrate+z+from+y%3D0+to+9+%2Cx%3D0+to+y%2F3%2Cz%3D0+to+%28y%5E2-9x%5E2%29%5E1%2F2

I didn't get this answer and my mistake is in evaluating the second integral. I'm not sure how they got y^3/9: http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=integrate+z+from+x%3D0+to+y%2F3%2Cz%3D0+to+%28y%5E2-9x%5E2%29%5E1%2F2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{9}\int\limits_{0}^{y/3}\int\limits_{0}^{\sqrt{y^2-9x^2}}(z) dz dx dy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what I was able to get from evaluating the first integral: \[1/2(y^2-9x^2)dxdy\] and from here I get this: \[\int\limits_{0}^{9}(y^3/3-y^3/3)dy\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm guessing that my mistake is in -9x^2. \[\int\limits_{0}^{y/3}-9x^2dx=-3x^3=-y^3/3\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

y^2x/2 = y^2y/2(3) right?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\[\frac{y^2}{2}\frac{y}{3}-\frac{-9y^3}{2.3(3^3)}\cancel{-(\frac{y^2}{2}x-\frac{-9x^2}{2}\frac{x}{3})}^{\ 0}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^ Yes Thats right

*This is a side question, how do you make a fraction on this site?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

not -9 but typos persist

OpenStudy (amistre64):

\frac{top}{bottom}\[\frac{top}{bottom}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ Okay thanks

OpenStudy (amistre64):

youve got it for the most part, just keep an eye on the variables that are getting integrated by

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So what you had above was: \[\frac{y^3}{6}-\frac{9(\frac{y^3}{27})}{6}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah wait, \[\frac{-9y^3}{6*27}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I got the answer, but for some reason it came out to be negative: \[\frac{y^3}{6}-\frac{9y^3}{27}*6=\frac{3y^3}{18}-\frac{9y^3}{18}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah wait, thats not right

OpenStudy (amistre64):

z z.x.y z^2/2 x.y (y^2-9x^2)/2 x.y (y^2 x - 3x^3)/2 .y (y^3/3 - y^3/9)/2 .y (y^4/12 - y^4/36)/2 (9^4/12 - 9^4/36)/2 = 729/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I took my some time to figure out the final step you did, but I finally got it. Thanks.
