In summary, the conversation discussed the drawing of four different spaces: $D_1$, $D_2$, $D_3$, and $D_4$. $D_1$ is a pyramid with a triangular base on the $xy$-plane and a height of 1. $D_2$ is a spherical segment with a top at $z=\frac{1}{2}$ and a bottom at $z=1$. $D_3$ is a paraboloid-like shape with a circular base on the $xy$-plane and a height of $\pi$. $D_4$ is a region bounded by a paraboloid and a cylinder. To draw these spaces, the conversation involved solving for

Hey! :eek:

I want to draw the following spaces:

  1. $D_1=\{(x,y,z)\mid 0\leq x\leq 1, \ 1-x\leq y\leq 1, \ x\leq z\leq 1\}$

    By the inequalities $0\leq x\leq 1, \ 1-x\leq y\leq 1$ we get a triangle on the $xy$-plane with vertices $(0,1)$, $(1,0)$ and $(1,1)$.

    So, we have that triangle at the plane $z=0$. Do we shift that triangle to the plane $z=1$ because of the inequality $x\leq z\leq 1$, and so we get all the points between the triangle at $z=0$ till the triangle at $z=1$ ?

    $$$$
  2. $D_2=\left \{(x,y,z)\mid \frac{1}{2}\leq z\leq 1, \ x^2+y^2+z^2\leq 1\right \}$

    $x^2+y^2+z^2\leq 1$ is a sphere. From the inequality $\frac{1}{2}\leq z\leq 1$ we take only one part of the sphere, or not?

    $$$$
  3. $D_3=\{(x,y,z)\mid 0\leq x\leq \pi , \ 0\leq y \leq 1, \ 0\leq z\leq x\}$

    We draw the line $z=x$ on the $xz$-plane for $0\leq x\leq \pi$. Since $0\leq y\leq 1$, we get the following parallelogramm:

    Is this correct?

    $$$$
  4. $D_4$ is defined by the paraboloid with equation $z=2x^2+y^2$ and the cylinder with the equation $z=8-y^2$.

    The paraboloid and the cylinder intersect at $2x^2+y^2=8-y^2 \Rightarrow x^2=4-y^2 \Rightarrow x=\pm \sqrt{4-y^2}$, therefore we get $-\sqrt{4-y^2}\leq x\leq \sqrt{4-y^2}$.
    It must hold that $4-y^2\geq 0 \Rightarrow y^2\leq 4 \Rightarrow -2\leq y \leq 2$.
    We have that $2x^2+y^2\leq 2\sqrt{4-y^2}^2+y^2=8-y^2 \Rightarrow 2x^2+y^2\leq z\leq 8-y^2$.

    Therefore the space $D_4$ is the set $\{(x,y,z)\mid -\sqrt{4-y^2}\leq x\leq \sqrt{4-y^2}, \ -2\leq y \leq 2, \ 2x^2+y^2\leq z\leq 8-y^2\}$, or not?

Hey mathmari! (Smile)

Picking 2 of them for now.

$x^2+y^2+z^2\leq 1$ is a sphere. From the inequality $\frac{1}{2}\leq z\leq 1$ we take only one part of the sphere, or not?

Yep. The top part where $z\ge \frac 12$. (Nod)

We draw the line $z=x$ on the $xz$-plane for $0\leq x\leq \pi$. Since $0\leq y\leq 1$, we get the following parallelogramm:

Is this correct?

Wouldn't $(\pi, 0, 0)$ be in $D_3$ as well? (Wondering)

So, will it be in the following form?

So, is $D_3$ the space between these three planes (red, green, purple) :

Erm... I don't recognize part of a sphere in there. :confused:
It should have a circle at $z=\frac 12$, and it should curve into the z-direction to the point (0,0,1), where it is closed.

That looks more like it. (Nod)

Although it looks more paraboloidical then spherical. (Nerd)

Oh yes (Blush)

right? Do you have also an idea about the spaces $D_1$ and $D_4$ ?

Suppose we pick (1,0) in the xy-plane, then z cannot be 0 can it? (Wondering)

At the $xy$-plane ($z=0$) we have that $x=0$ and $y=1$. So, we get only the point $(0,1,0)$.

At the plane $z=1$ we get the following points:
for $x=0$ : $y=1$ and so $(0,1,1)$
for $x=1$: $y=0$ or $y=1$ and so $(1,0,1)$ and $(1,1,1)$

Do we connect all these points? The result is a pyramid with base the triangle on the plane $z=1$ defined by the points $(0,1,1)$, $(1,0,1)$, $(1,1,1)$ and the top of the pyramid is $(0,1,0)$.

Is this correct? (Wondering)

When solving for each of the boundary conditions x=0, y=0, z=0, x=1, y=1, and z=1, I find the same points.
Since the remaining inequalities are linear equations, I believe our space $D_1$ is indeed that pyramid. (Nod)

Can we draw this?
Preferably including the curves that follow from the intersections with the coordinate planes?
Then it becomes a bit easier to see if it matches and if it's all correct. (Thinking)
 

FAQ: Is $D_4$ a bounded region in 3-dimensional space?

What is a space in 3-dimensional?

A space in 3-dimensional refers to a three-dimensional environment that has length, width, and height. It is the physical space in which objects can exist and move in three different directions.

What is the difference between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional space?

The main difference between 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional space is an additional dimension. 2-dimensional space only has length and width, while 3-dimensional space has length, width, and height. This means that 3-dimensional space allows for objects to have depth and volume, while in 2-dimensional space, they do not.

How is 3-dimensional space represented?

3-dimensional space is often represented using a coordinate system, with three axes (x, y, and z) intersecting at the origin point. This allows for precise measurements and locations of objects within the space.

What are some real-life examples of 3-dimensional space?

Some common examples of 3-dimensional space include buildings, furniture, and human bodies. These objects have length, width, and height, making them three-dimensional. Other examples include mountains, trees, and even the universe.

Why is studying 3-dimensional space important?

Studying 3-dimensional space is important because it helps us understand and visualize the world around us. It also plays a crucial role in many scientific fields, such as physics, chemistry, and biology. Additionally, advancements in technology, such as 3D printing and virtual reality, rely on our understanding of 3-dimensional space.
