Integral Calculus Help Needed: \iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\ dy\ dz

In summary, to solve the triple integral $\iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\ dy\ dz$, where $T=\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3:\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\leq z\leq 1\}$, you first convert to cylindrical coordinates and then change the order of integration to make it easier to solve. After making the substitution $u=z^4$, the integral can be evaluated.

Hi! I have some problems with the integral
\(\displaystyle \iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\ dy\ dz\)
where
\(\displaystyle T=\{(x,y,z)\in\mathbb{R}^3:\sqrt{x^2+y^2}\leq z\leq 1\}\)
I have tried to change it to spherical and cylindrical coordinates but... nothing
Can someone help me?
Thanks

Wellcome on MHB laura!... may be that the best way is to separate the integrations in the following way...

$\displaystyle I = \int_{A} \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}\ dx\ dy\ \int_{\sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}}}^{1} z^{4}\ e^{z^{4}}\ dz$ (1)

... where A is the unit circle on the xy plane. First You solve the integral in z and then You can change the integral in x and y in polar coordinates...

Kind regards

Step 1. Convert to cylindrical coordinates: $$\iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\, dy\, dz = \int_0^1\int_r^1\int_0^{2\pi} rz^4e^{z^4}\,rd\theta\, dz\, dr = 2\pi\int_0^1\int_r^1r^2z^4e^{z^4}dz\, dr$$ (doing the $\theta$ integral first).

Step 2. Change the order of integration. The integral is over a triangular region in the $(r,z)$-plane. If $z$ goes from $r$ to $1$ (and then $r$ goes from $0$ to $1$), then when you switch the order, you find that $r$ goes from $0$ to $z$ (and then $z$ goes from $0$ to $1$). Thus the integral becomes $$2\pi\int_0^1\int_0^zr^2z^4e^{z^4}dr\,dz = 2\pi\int_0^1\frac{z^3}3z^4e^{z^4}dz,$$ which you can evaluate by making the substitution $u=z^4$.
 

FAQ: Integral Calculus Help Needed: \iiint_T\sqrt{x^2+y^2}z^4e^{z^4}dx\ dy\ dz

1. What is integral calculus?

Integral calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the calculation of areas and volumes, as well as the accumulation of quantities and rates of change. It is used to solve problems involving continuous functions, and is an important tool in physics, engineering, and other sciences.
