could i get some help with this?

hartnn (hartnn):

@TuringTest ,can u plz try this ?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

you need the intersection of the two shapes, have you got that yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

set formulas for z equal and find what shape the intersection is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a circle with a radius of 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the shape of intersection

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then..?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

then what are the bounds on r and theta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0<r<4 and 0<theta<2 pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do i integrate over though??

OpenStudy (turingtest):

z upper - z lower

OpenStudy (turingtest):

which function is on top and which is below for z?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

r-(32-r^2)^(1/2)

OpenStudy (turingtest):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i never know when a function is on top or on the bottom can we plug in values to figure this out?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sure, try x=y=0 and you can find out real quick

OpenStudy (turingtest):

oh, and I see I let you do it backwards, sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it right but i guessed...whats the math behind it?

OpenStudy (turingtest):

hooray :) at the origin x=y=0, so z=x^2+y^2=0 is on the bottom, and z=32-x^2-y^2=32 is on top

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm i get it plug in x=y=0 to find out which ones on top which ones on the bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=)!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you have a look at the second question as well

OpenStudy (turingtest):

by plugging in x=y=0 and comparing values we are asking which one is on top at that point. Unless they cross each other that goes for the whole shape the second one looks a little harder, let me see...

OpenStudy (turingtest):

|dw:1352743460102:dw|

OpenStudy (turingtest):

a strip of the shaded area is|dw:1352743660838:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup with u

OpenStudy (turingtest):

sorry that's|dw:1352743785867:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did u get the equation of the strip

OpenStudy (turingtest):

|dw:1352743918863:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got the first equation when i apply the top-bottom rule

OpenStudy (turingtest):

right, but I think we want to do this in polar anyways

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea we do so the bottom equation is right because we want to subtract one to gt the bottom half of the circle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check this out instead=) incase your curious
