Homework Statement
find the volume of the solid bounded by the graphs of the given equations:
r=1+cos∅
z=y
z=0
(the first octant)
Homework Equations
V=[itex]\int[/itex][itex]\int[/itex] rdrd∅
The Attempt at a Solution
So, I've been having trouble deciding what to integrate from and to. I converted the z equations into polar coordinates, so, z=rsin and z=0
[itex]\int[/itex][itex]^{2\pi}_{0}[/itex][itex]\int[/itex][itex]^{1+cos∅}_{0}[/itex] (rsin)rdrd∅
Mod note: revised LaTeX
[tex]\int_0^{2\pi} \int_0^{1 + cos(\theta)} rsin(\theta) r~dr~d\theta[/tex]
I found, from the first integration, [2∏]\int[/0][itex] r^(3)sin∅/3 d∅ and I need to plug in (1+cos∅) and 0 for r...but, this seems WAY too complicated having a trig function to the 3rd power.
I'm not even sure if I have the beginning correct. Can anyone help me out?
