Integrals
\[\int\limits_{}^{}\int\limits_{}^{}\int\limits_{}^{}2z dx dy dz\] \[0\le z \le1\] \[2\le x \le 2y\]
\[\int\limits_{0}^{1}\int\limits_{0}^{x}\int\limits_{2}^{2y}2z dxdydx\] Did i set this up right?
Im confused because when I work it out I am not getting a real number, but a function in terms of x. Do I need to do a change of variable?
MY overal answer was (x(x-2))
why do you put 0 to x for your interval of y?
oh sorry i forgot the bounds of y are given I just didnt write it here. 0<y<x
I see, so you introduced x again when you integrate over y, but you've just integrated over x, so you made x diappear by integrating over it, but the x term on the y interval made it reappear
Right
I am kind of confused about how to do it properly, its being awhile since I did my Calc III
Yea, its got myself and the 6 people im studying with stumped
let me get on wolfram alpha and see if it gives a solution
thanks!
wolframalpha says your right
it is a function of x after all, I guess this function of x is the correct answer, you didnt make a mistake anywhere
wait are second, what's your d's? dxdydx or dxdydz?
because these two gives different answes
Word of advice, don't always trust WA's results for multiple integrals. They still have a few kinks to work out.
if you have dxdydx, as your second post, then it has a definite value. But your first one says dxdydz which is x(x-2) and we cant do anything about it
its 2z dxdydx
hold on, that still doesnt make sense
becuase now you cant even get rid of your z, because you are not even integrating over it
God, sorry im such a clutz right now. I typed it wrong again. Ive been doing integrals for the past 32 hours. its 2z * dx dy dz
then I think its correct to say its x(x-2), but I forgot mot of my multicalc stuff from my freshman year
Alrighty, thank you!
