Find the volume of the ellipsoid x^2 + y^2 + 10z^2 = 16
solve for z... z=sqrt((16-x^2-y^2)/(10))
z = sqrt((16-r^2)/10)
so to find the volume, my integral looks like this:
latex doesn't seem to be working, so this could look messy...
2*int (from 0-2pi)*int(from 0-1)* sqrt((16-r^2)/(10))*r*dr*d(theta)
the 2 in front of the integral is to find the volume, since the integral only gives half of the volume right? is my setup correct? cause i keep getting the wrong answers
