Switching bounds in multiple integrals.

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

\[\int\limits_{0}^{3}\int\limits_{0}^{2z^2}\int\limits_{0}^{6-2x}8z dz dy dx\]

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

So, I know I have to switch dz and dy, but I'm not too sure on how to go about that.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The limits don't make sense... The first integral removes \(z\), but the second integral's limits reintroduce it.

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

Therefore, shouldn't I switch dz and dy?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh sorry, didn't notice your second comment. It looked like you were given a 3d region, let's see those bounds again.

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

This was the original question: Let a solid defined by the domain E have density f(x,y,z)=8z. Then the mass of the solid is m=(triple integral) 8zdV If E is the solid bounded in the x direction by x=0 and x=3, lying between the parabolic cylinder y=2z^2 and the plane y=0, and bounded in the z direction by z=0 and 2x+z=6, find the total mass of the solid.

OpenStudy (sh3lsh):

Wait, is easier than expected. I can just switch the bounds without worry. Thanks for taking your time though!
