Calc III - Find the volume of the solid bounded from side by x^2+y^2=4, above the xy-plane and below the sphere with radius 4 centered at the origin.
try always to draw and u will get the answer
I know how to draw it, but how to use polar coordinates to finish the computation?
polar coordinates is like this (r, the angle) instead of using x and y
so you know that the first solid is a cylinder of radius 2 and the second is a sphere of radius 4, and above the xy plane so z is always positive. from this you can see that the radius will change from 2 to 4, and theta will be from 0 to 2pi and z will be from 0 to (equantion of squere having isolated y)
Thanks :)
and you use cylindrical coordinates, polar coordinates are usually reserved from computations in 2D
