please help me!! Triple integrals.

OpenStudy (zzr0ck3r):

are you asking someone named Tripple Integrals to help you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Find the volume enclosed by the parabaloids z=x^2+y^2 and z = 8-x^2-y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no lol I need help with tripple and double integrals

OpenStudy (turingtest):

looks ripe for cylindrical coordinates

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what will the projection of this shape on the xy-plane be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it makes kind of an egg shape

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a circular region

OpenStudy (turingtest):

but the projection. i.e its shadow... yes, a circle of radius what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure how do I figure this out?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait is it radius 8

OpenStudy (turingtest):

find when the two equations intersect z=z 8-x^2-y^2=x^2+y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah, ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got x^2+y^2=4 so the radius is 2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes, now change it to cylindrical coordinates what are the bounds on z, r, and theta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{?}^{?}\int\limits_{?}^{?}\int\limits_{z=r^2}^{z=8-r^2} rdrd\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

what is the maximum r can be (think of the circle)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (turingtest):

and what is the minimum r can be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and theta should be 2pi and 0

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes, so what is your integral?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{2PI}\int\limits_{0}^{2}\int\limits_{r^2}^{8-r^2} rdrd \theta \]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

where is your z differential?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

triple integral=three differentials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats right dz should be on the end of that

OpenStudy (turingtest):

the end? what are we going to integrate wrt first?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

r^2 and 8-r^2 are the bounds on what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im confused by what your saying

OpenStudy (turingtest):

\[\int_0^{2\pi}\int_0^2\int_{r^2}^{8-r^2}rdrd\theta dz\]would suggest that \[r^2\le r\le8-r^2\]but that's not right, what should we have between r^2 and 8-r^2 ??

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh I made a typo to, but the inner integral is the important one here

OpenStudy (turingtest):

too*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see \[\int\limits_{0}^{2\pi}\int\limits_{0}^{2} \int\limits_{0}^{8} (8-r^2)-r^2 rdrd \theta dz\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

doeas that look better?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no, not quite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

crap

OpenStudy (turingtest):

didn't you earlier make it clear that\[r^2\le z\le8-r^2\]? you wrote that for an earlier integral...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right so then that is my limit and the integral is rdr dtheta dz

OpenStudy (turingtest):

no, you need to work from the inside out since your internal integral has the bounds r^2 and 8-r^2, which are the bounds for z, you innermost differential should be dz make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya it does so the integral is rdz dr dtheta

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok finally lol
