What is the value of the triple integral 15.4.08?

In summary: When you get to $\,{\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-30y^3+24y \, \, dy}\,$, stay organized. 2. $\,y\,$ is a variable over the interval $\,[0, \sqrt{2}]\,$. 3. You seem to have lost your negative signs. 4. Try the substitution $\,u = y^2\,$ to avoid a square root 5. The integral should be $\,{\displaystyle\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}\left(-30y^3+24y\right) \, \, dy}\,$. 6. The coefficient of

OK not sure about these remaining steps

Your middle integral is ill-defined. You don't get y in the limits of an integral defined with dy. Only x should remain after evaluation for z and y.

Did you construct this integral or was it printed in the book you don't want to buy?

I was just trying to follow a very similar example

symbolab showed steps but it was confusingIm not going to buy another textbook especially when same thing is in the one I have

Are you sure it isn't supposed to be $\,{dz}\,{dx}\,{dy}$? Because that does give $-6$.

As tkhunny said you can't integrate with respect to a bound variable ($y$).

ok want to go thru this again
the next step not sure because it has an x and y in it.:confused:

\begin{align*}\displaystyle
I_{15.5.8}&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y}
\int_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2}
dz \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y}
\Biggr|z\Biggr|_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2} \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}
\int_{0}^{3y} 8-2x^2-4y^2 \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \Biggr|-\frac{2 x^3}{3} - 4 x y^2 + 8 x\Biggr|_{0}^{3y} dy \\
W|A&=\color{red}{-6}

First do the inner integral, for which the value of $y$ stays fixed: $y$ is simply a constant as far as the inner integral is concerned. (Imagine, if you like, that $y = \pi$ and perform the inner integration with respect to $x$. The result will be an expression in terms of $y$ that can then be integrated with respect to $y$.)

Correct.

So, what does your next step look like?
Specifically, what is the remaining integral w.r.t. $y$?

there is a sign error somewhere it this...:(

Something goes wrong in the 6th equality.
Your coefficient of $y^3$ is not correct.

ok think this is it

\begin{align*}\displaystyle

&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \int_{0}^{3y} \Biggr|z\Biggr|_{x^2+3y^2}^{8-x^2-y^2} \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \int_{0}^{3y} 8-2x^2-4y^2 \ dx \ dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \Biggr|-\frac{2 x^3}{3} - 4 x y^2 + 8 x\Biggr|_{0}^{3y} \, dy \\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-\frac{2(3y)^3}{3} - 4 (3y) y^2 + 8 (3y) \, dy\\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-18y^3-12y^3+24y \, \, dy\\
&=\int_{0}^{\sqrt{2}}-30y^3+24y \, \, dy\\
&=\Biggr|\frac{-30y^4}{4}+\frac{24y^2}{2}\Biggr|_{0}^{\sqrt{2}} \\
&=\frac{-30(\sqrt{2})^4}{4}+\frac{24(\sqrt{2})^2}{2}\\
&=-30+24\\
&=-6\\

FAQ: What is the value of the triple integral 15.4.08?

What is a triple integral?

A triple integral is an extension of a regular single or double integral, used to integrate a function over a three-dimensional region in space. It involves calculating the signed volume under a function or surface over a given region.

How is a triple integral different from a single or double integral?

A single integral is used to find the area under a curve in one dimension, while a double integral is used to find the volume under a surface in two dimensions. A triple integral is used to find the signed volume under a function or surface in three dimensions.

How do you set up a triple integral?

A triple integral is set up by first determining the bounds of integration for each variable, then multiplying the function by the differentials of each variable (dx,dy,dz) and integrating over the given region in the correct order (either x, y, z or z, y, x).

What are some applications of triple integrals?

Triple integrals have various applications in physics and engineering, such as calculating the mass or center of mass of a three-dimensional object, finding the electric field or flux through a three-dimensional region, and determining the volume of a solid with irregular shape.

Are there any techniques to make solving a triple integral easier?

Yes, there are various techniques such as changing the order of integration, using symmetry to reduce the number of integrals, and using the properties of odd and even functions to simplify the integrand.
