What is the value of the triple integral for the given solid and region?

In summary, we are evaluating the triple integral of y with limits 0 to 1 for x and y and 0 to 8-x-y for z, for the solid below the plane x+y+z=8 and above the region in the x-y plane bounded by y=1, x=0, and x=\sqrt{y}. The result is $\frac{577}{210}$.

Evaluate the integral \iiint\limits_{ydV}, where V is the solid lying below the plane x+y+z =8 and above the region in the x-y plane bounded by the curves y=1, x=0 and x=\sqrt{y}.

Lying above the x-y plane and below the plane $\displaystyle \begin{align*} x + y + z = 8 \end{align*}$ means the z limits are $\displaystyle \begin{align*} 0 \leq z \leq 8 - x- y \end{align*}$.

If you are bounded by $\displaystyle \begin{align*} y = 1, \, x = 0 \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} x = \sqrt{y} \end{align*}$ then $\displaystyle \begin{align*} 0 \leq x \leq \sqrt{y} \end{align*}$ and $\displaystyle \begin{align*} 0 \leq y \leq 1 \end{align*}$ (draw a sketch of this region to verify). Thus

$\displaystyle \begin{align*} \int{\int{\int_D{y\,\mathrm{d}V}}} &= \int_0^{1}{\int_0^{\sqrt{y}}{\int_0^{8-x-y}{y\,\mathrm{d}z}\,\mathrm{d}x}\,\mathrm{d}y} \\ &= \int_0^1{ \int_0^{\sqrt{y}}{\left[ y\,z \right]_0^{8-x-y} \,\mathrm{d}x} \,\mathrm{d}y } \\ &= \int_0^1{\int_0^{\sqrt{y}}{ y\left( 8 - x- y \right) \,\mathrm{d}x}\,\mathrm{d}y} \\ &= \int_0^1{\left[ y\left( 8\,x - \frac{x^2}{2} - x\,y \right) \right]_0^{\sqrt{y}}\,\mathrm{d}y} \\ &= \int_0^1{ y\left( 8\,\sqrt{y} - \frac{y}{2} - y\,\sqrt{y} \right) \,\mathrm{d}y } \\ &= \int_0^1{ \left( 8\,y^{\frac{3}{2}} - \frac{y^2}{2} - y^{\frac{5}{2}} \right) \,\mathrm{d}y } \\ &= \left[ \frac{16}{5}\,y^{\frac{5}{2}} - \frac{y^3}{6} - \frac{2}{7}\,y^{\frac{7}{2}} \right]_0^1 \\ &= \frac{16}{5} - \frac{1}{6} - \frac{2}{7} \\ &= \frac{577}{210} \end{align*}$
 

FAQ: What is the value of the triple integral for the given solid and region?

What is a triple integral in calculus?

A triple integral is an extension of a single integral in calculus, which is used to find the volume of a three-dimensional shape. It involves integrating a function over a three-dimensional region or volume.

How is a triple integral different from a double integral?

A triple integral involves integrating over a three-dimensional region, while a double integral involves integrating over a two-dimensional region. In other words, a triple integral calculates the volume of a three-dimensional shape, while a double integral calculates the area of a two-dimensional shape.

What are the applications of triple integrals?

Triple integrals are used in many fields of science, including physics, engineering, and economics. They are often used to calculate volumes, moments of inertia, and probability distributions in three-dimensional systems.

How do you set up a triple integral?

To set up a triple integral, you need to define the limits of integration for each variable (x, y, and z). These limits are determined by the boundaries of the three-dimensional region or volume that you are integrating over. You also need to determine the function that will be integrated and the order in which the integrals will be performed (i.e. which variable will be integrated first).

What is the relationship between a triple integral and a triple sum?

A triple integral can be thought of as a continuous version of a triple sum. While a triple sum calculates the sum of a function over discrete points in a three-dimensional system, a triple integral calculates the integral of a function over a continuous region in a three-dimensional system. Both methods are used to calculate volumes and can be used interchangeably depending on the problem at hand.
